Enduro bike

Recommended Posts

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 .........

Supermoto version out there too. 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.

It's a 16 year old KTM, do you think they use the same engine now?

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 .  Go on the KTM UK forum for guys who are in the know .                 https://www.ktmforum.co.uk/forums/

Hard to find one that hasn't been butchered now, plus it's a heavy bike if you plan to go proper offroading!

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.
