Trying to make some room in the garage, going to sell my 1998 KTM 250 EXC two-stroke woods bike.






Starts 2nd-3rd kick, has FMF Gnarly pipe with Q silencer (fresh repack), Michelin S12s, Terrain Tamer suspension (http://www.brucessuspension.com/), etc. Comes with all manuals including service manual, fork and shock manuals, parts manuals for bike/engine, 1998 2-stroke brochure, and a nice KTM folder/case for storing manuals. Bike is well worn and shows its age, but the motor is very strong. You will be hard pressed to find a better woods bike for $1500.

I bought this bike in November of '06 with the intention of getting back into dirt riding, but have only gone riding 4-5 times since then. My weekends always seem to be filled up with other stuff and even when I do get a chance to spend the day riding I always end up spending it on the Buell instead. The bike has impressed me every time I've ridden it, but with no time to ride it's a waste for me to keep the bike.

The bike is currently located in Fuquay-Varina, NC.

Did that start out street legal, and if so do you still have the street parts for it?
If so I'll let someone near me know about it.

As far as I know the bike was never street legal. They did come with a headlight/tail light from the factory, but that was for woods riding.

How big is the gas tank?-does it have a skid plate? will it "putt" or is it explosive (power wise) thx---ie-good slow speed torque for crawling around in tight stuff? 5 speed or 6 speed?

Not sure about the size of the gas tank, I can look it up when I get home. There is no skid plate, just the exhaust and the frame. You can get away with lugging the motor, much more so than on a 2-stroke MX bike, but it is still a 2-stroke and prefers to be kept spinning a bit. I actually can't remember if it has 5 or 6 gears, I'll have to look that up too. It is considered a wide-ratio trans though.

Ok, seriously, I'm willing to go down to trade-in value now. Anyone interested at all?

I *NEVER* want to hear about poor resale on Buells again.

If you were closer to Wisconsin, I just may have taken you up on that.
