Hey Vital,
I've been out of MX since I was on superminis in 2007 and have been casually looking for a nice used Ktm 150. A 2016 Ktm 125 from around my old home area has popped up on CL and I am curious on what a reasonable price to target is. It has 11.5 Hours on it and looks pretty clean. Obviously I will look in person but trying to get an idea before hand. I would rather a 150 but I'd go after a good clean 125 for the right price and consider upgrading to a 150 head and cylinder down the road.
The bike is at a dealer, and listed at 6K on CL in one ad, and 5700 for the same bike in another ad. I have seen 2016 150s going for around 5K but with a bit more hours. Considering the 2017 came with the air forks instead of the 4CS i think there is room to come down from 6K (seen some 2017s on CL already for mid 6's) even with such low hours, just not sure what price to target. Bike has suspension work which i will have redone anyway, an fmf pipe and silencer, and pegs.
Thanks
Collin

Consider you'll need to throw a thousand bucks at the 4CS forks to get them "fixed".
Pass.
The Shop
I found my buddy a killer deal on a 17 YZ250 recently. $6900 out the door. Called about 10 dealers. Some were as high as $8400 and wouldn't budge. They didn't get the business.
If you're paying sticker, plus tax and fees, you're a sucker.
5799 for brand new 250
I only see my post about what it will actually cost OTD and a whole lot of speculation of what it should cost. The MSRP for the 17 125 is $6899.00 and I got lucky and found one in November. So take the MSRP of $6900 and add $800 for taxes and dealer cost makes it a $7700 bike OTD. So yea, $6000 for an 11-hour bike would be a reasonable price.
At some point you will have to sell the bike yourself....I would much rather be trying to sell a factory 150 as opposed to a 125 that I "turned into a 150".
Whether it has 11 hours or 40 hours....all depends on WHO put those hours on that bike.
A "racer" who kept it at max revs constantly or a young kid who it turns out couldn't handle that much bike.
My vote: GET the 150!
