[QUOTE="poncho, post: 166090, member: 16493"] I agree, old is relative. My 95 RM 250 is in better shape than many bikes 3 or 4 years newer. Parts availability on "older" bikes, 95 is probably considered older where dirtbikes are concerned, is definately an issue. I would think it's an even bigger issu for KTMs. These bikes a great now and the company has grown, but this growth seems to have come in the last 5 years. I would guess that parts availablity on KTMs from 95 or older may be a little difficult to obtain. Check with a dealer to make sure. The aftermartket was also weaker on these models before there growth. Some times it's a challenge finding certain things for my bike. Bikes take a beating and I would say that most don't maintain them to the degree that they should by. Manufactures know that the olders models die early deaths so it wouldn't make sense to continue to generate a lot of non-common parts past a few years. Just look at what model years are available in the want ads and you will see what I mean. If you buy the bike make sure you break it down and check and lube all the linkage and steering bearings. Make sure you check all fasteners. Good luck. Mike [/QUOTE]
