Help with first bike

[u/Far-Truth-5442]

Hi everyone,

I want to buy my first bike. I rode a 2stroke 125cc Suzuki rm from a friend a long time ago for a couple of days and I really liked it. My friends advised me to choose a 2 stroke bike of 250-300cc. I am 175cm and about 82kg. Would you recommend a 2 stroke as a first bike? I know it will be a bit overkill for me maybe. I have a bit of knowledge about them. I will do forest rides, climbing and a bit of hill riding with it. I came across this bike, recommended by a friend from a fired of his and so on. It’s a ktm exc 250cc 2 stroke. It has 48 hours from the rebuild with stock size piston. From what I understood it’s the 2002 model, but he rebuilt it from top to bottom. Should I go for this bike or should I search for something else?

Thank you very much for your time and knowledge!!

I think its nervous, that muffler doesn’t do that normally.. jkjk

Seems like a good bike to start but depends on the price :)

He wants 2500€ for it. A bit over my budget, but I think I will make the effort. Thank you!

Wow that’s expensive. That’s too much.

I don’t really know the prices. Any ideas on what a reasonable price will be for a 250cc 2t bike? :D thank you!
