[QUOTE="KTM Mike, post: 1208776, member: 22658"] Sounds like FUN to me! (are we all warped or what?) Jim - FWIW - if your buddy comes across a good deal on a used KTM, dont dismiss it. They can be set up for a new rider just like anyother bike. The KDX needs less to be newbie friendly, more to be a hard edged woods racer. My oldest son just started on a bike 1 year ago. We were shopping for a KDX, but happened to come across a great deal on a 2003 KTM 200 MXC, so bought it. He has had no issues at all with it. He did have a number of years on a quad, which I am sure helped out somewhat. We did do a bit to make his bike "newbie friendly" - Flywheel weight, G2 Throttle, powervalve adjust, some jetting changes etc. - none of which were to horribly expensive, some were freebies like jetting and powervalve. End result is a bike that has been super for him as a bike newbie, and has tons of "growing room" as he develops as a rider. (which is happening quickly). All of those bits of set up we did would apply to a 250 or other size KTMs as well. [/QUOTE]
