So a year and a half ago I bought my first bike, a 2008 XC-W 300. I rode it, it almost killed me, and it was way too much bike for a little girl who didn't know how to use a clutch. I have since sold it, and for nearly a year have been rocking a 2006 YZ 125. It's deadly.

Now, being bored and back to work in the land of which my bike does not reside, I have been perusing the used ads on Kijiji (Canadian version of Craigslist)...
I came across this ad.

http://www.kijiji.ca/v-dirt-bikes-motocross/prince-george/2014-ktm-200-…

I have the opportunity to buy basically the bike of my dreams, but I am trying to save cash. I have a few more months of work ahead of me, so it's not like I would be broke... But I am having some serious words with my wallet right now.

What do y'all think? Back when I first got on here it was a suggestion of many for me to pick one of these up, and I have been waiting patiently for the opportune moment.

What do you want to know? The 200 is one of the most loved bikes out there. Enough power to do anything and keep you from getting bored, but not so much power you feel like the bike is riding you.

I did notice the owner says 66 hours, I'd ask if it's had a top end. If not its time for one.

Great bike for sure
But the price seems on the high end, but I'm not familiar with that area.

I've had three 200s, they are great bikes. You will love it, especially coming from a 125.

I know bikes are more $ up there, but that seems like too much. If the top end had just been freshened up, forks serviced, all bearings and brakes in good shape, chain and sprockets, tires good then maybe.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. The bike brand new goes for about 8600 or so. She said she is firm on the price though...

I love the 200s but 7k is a bit of a hit...

I saw a 2014 around me listed for $5300.
