2004/2005 ktm250exc 2stroke.
Brilliant almost indestructible.
First was a 2004 6 days I got second hand with 3 k on it.. Then did another 23,000 miles of enduros, 200+ trail rides and fun days...never had the head off, same clutch..but changed sprockets, chain, brake pads, spark plug and tyres..
Sold it seen on sight to a KTM dealer for more than it was advertised on eBay for
Missed it so much I got a 2005 exc version second hand for £1,200 with 5,000 miles on.
Now completed just over 11,500 of trail riding & fun days and 525 MXC used for trail riding.
Again never had the head off and only major expense was replacing rear plastics after a cliff fall... Starts first time, goes up stuff, comes down stuff well within my ability range and always brilliant fun... Now worth more than I paid for it as well!
Also interchangeable frame and cycle parts with my 05 525MXC.. Ideal combination for me..
If the wife lets me I'll upgrade the 525 to a 690Enduro (with sm spare wheels) but I'll keep the 250... It's just too reliable and fun to get rid of...
