looking for a 2003 or newer 250 or 300 that hasn't been raced.. have cash in hand (but not a huge bankroll, so probably can't afford brand new) and I live in the Seattle area but will travel (or meet up depending upon distance) for the right deal.

please prevent me from having to buy another KTM :)
 
I wouldn't shy away from a raced bike without checking it out 1st.
It seems they (we) often take better care of them than play riders do.

HOW MUCH ARE YOU LOOKING TO SPEND?

I'm sure some are.. I know plenty of guys that race.. grew up in a racing family etc. but there are stresses put on a motor during a race, that a bike used for casual trail riding doesn't go through.. not looking for a bike ridden by the proverbial little old lady from Pasadena, but maybe from some old guy in the Cascade foothills that uses it for pleasant trail riding.. which is what I intend to do with it :D
 
saw that.. but question on the differences between EC and DE.. are the DE's, the new EC's? the 2006 in Eugene doesn't appear to have a headlight or tail light.. are those factory add-on's or?? this is an off-road bike vs MX right? (wide ratio six speed tranny, softer suspension etc., mellower ignition etc.)

anyone? anyone?
 
A modern 250/300 2-stroke makes so much power that you have to be a top rider to use it all. These bikes are tough and stress under normal racing conditions is not a factor. Hours and maintanence is a factor. A bike owned and maintained by an average racer who is a good wrench would be fine, just look it over closely.
 
Check Eugene Craigslist, my old 250 is up there for $2000. It's been raced, but I know for a fact that it has been completely rebuilt from the bottom up, no stone left unturned. It's like brand new. It is a Six Days model and has the WP 50mm conventionals.
