Went to buy a new bike today, and my dealer has a brand new 2012 wr450 I can get for 7000 out the door. Is that a good deal? AIl I need is a good trail bike, and my other option is a ktm 300 for almost 9 grand, or a yz250 x for 7400 cash. A 4 stroke sounds interesting to me at that price, but I'm unfamiliar with the old style wr450. I do know that it has all the trail goodies on it though.

5000 tops or walk...
If it doesn't put you in a bind, buy the bike and go have fun. But if you go look at what a used 2012 model sells for that's exactly what it will be worth as soon as you ride it.
Pit Row
I know a very fast pro rider who did a 30 minute moto in 98 degree weather with NO OIL in his bike. It completely smoked the clutch and basket before realized what was going on. Anyways, tore the engine down, everything looked okay, Im sure it didn't increase the longevity of the engine by any means. But he ended up putting another 30+ hours on it without issue.
