Yep

This is the coolest coffee cup ever ….

Same here Saul , I’m surrounded by them in work but I have no interest in riding them . The only sports bike I kept for any time was my RD350YPVS

I blame Barry Sheen

Pit stop in Northleach

The 'old' engine know as the RFS (2002-2007) is widely regarded as the best engine KTM ever built . The engines from 2008-2012 were not as good , held less oil and were prone to early destruction. Then they got it right again with the newer (2013 0n ) engines . That's why 400, 450 and 525 EXC models (RFS engine) hold their value . Go on the KTM UK forum for guys who are in the know . https://www.ktmforum.co.uk/forums/

That one really cracks me up , as if it's going to make a difference to your average Joe on road tyres ..............

No, Redditch tonight then two nights in the Peak district.

Loading the last bit of kit onto the Yamaha and then I'm off 'oop north for a couple of days of camping , riding and drinking . It will be interesting to see how the Yam goes with all the kit on there .............

I doubt if they can see it even with a MRI scan ............

I've had three DRZ's . There is a trail model 'S' and an enduro model 'E' . The E has the livelier engine and the S has more road niceties. They are great bikes apart from the lack of a 6th gear but the newest one would be over 15 years old now. Having said that if you buy a good one it won't lose value but there are some proper dogs out there which could be a money pit. This one is decent as it's almost standard so you know it hasn't been mucked about ......... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145712371681?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20230811123856%26meid%3Df624ebe8b2ad4e1c9362fe5112fd1e47%26pid%3D101770%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D145712371681%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2&_trksid=p4375194.c101770.m146925&_trkparms=parentrq%3Ac97800a218e0a4f2f37602b5ffffe35c|pageci%3Af32877df-f76f-11ee-bfcd-8acb9bdb13f9|iid%3A1|vlpname%3Avlp_homepage

It could be easier or it could send him skyward if he yanks the throttle too hard ..................

There are so many variables when equating engine hours to miles but as a ball park figure that is about 4520 miles. What has the bike been used for , has it raced enduro's or just trail-riding ? If it's a race bike then you'd be getting close to needing a top end rebuild if it hasn't already been done. Is it road registered ?

It looks in good nick and well equipped for that money.

We can tell

Goodnight said Zebedee...............

Good footballers in Spain

Moose poked him in the eye .

A chance for some fine crayon work there @Six30 ........................

I would just try and start it first , keep your eye on the temperature gauge once it's been running for a couple minutes , turn it off and check the oil to make sure it's not milky . If that's all good take it for a short run (keep close to home) to check that the brakes are still good.

What Fred said, a 350 will be plenty enough off road, if you turn out to be Billy Big Balls then you could move up to the 500 or get a smoker .

It might be warmer (less humid) where you are but we get problems with blocked injectors and expanding fuel hoses with the crap fuel and humidity here

My stump isn't in my nether regions and it's not covered in pubes ............

I don't know much about that bike but the worse thing now with storing bikes for a long time is the fuel. I see that you've used a stabilizer but that doesn't always stop the injectors getting gummed up.

This is decent and it's the six days model so an easy sell-on if you don't get on with it .......... https://www.autotrader.co.uk/bike-details/202403288054512?sort=relevance&advertising-location=at_bikes&make=KTM&model=EXC&page=1&postcode=BS7 9SG&year-to=2024&fromsra How tall are you @Six30 ? thery're not for short peeps
