boboneleg Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 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 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate got one last year and blew the engine apart in the first week. He's rebuilt it now and all's well. Another mate has had one from 6 months old and it's still going strong. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 .

Difficult to tell from a video, but if it's not just round the corner, where you can pop over to look and listen to it, you're probably better off looking elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
