I always wanted a dirt bike. Ended up rebuilding a trike and ripping around on that. Note, I now have a Husky enduro...

Hey Peter , got a 2WG question for you: I’m a very novice rider who, many years ago based largely on peer pressure, bought an ‘04 KTM 625 SXC from a friend. I bought it with plans to go riding with another friend, who had dirt bikes and a trailer for him and his sons, and a did go ride a couple times with them. But then he promptly moved to Ohio... After that I just rode the bike around a few times near my house and then it sat (for way too long - work, family, life getting in the way is my only excuse for letting such a fine machine be neglected like this). About a year ago just prior to moving out to a place on 10 acres in the country, I paid a fellow in my neighborhood to go over the bike and try to rehab it. He did a pretty good job, but according to a friend of mine who tried to help me out with it afterward, he didn’t quite get the carb put back together right. So, the last time I messed with it, it started, but didn’t run quite right, and so it has sat. Long backstory to get the real point...
There’s a guy who works in my building that rides a KTM to work sometimes, and I left a card on his bike asking if he’d be interested in the bike (I know it’s really too much of a bike for how I want to use it - just want to learn to ride better and have a toy to mess around with on our land, no plans to ride on the road in the near future). He called me and we’ve talked a bit, and he’s rebuilding a ‘97 CR125R that he said we might be able to work a trade on. Seems like that bike would definitely fit my wants better, but wondering your thoughts on it. Clearly, it wouldn’t be a straight-up trade, seems like some cash would have to trade hands along with the Honda. I’m 6'1", 220 with a 34" inseam, so it seems like the bike would fit me okay. What do you think?

its certianly a to be considered. The CRF-R are high strung race machines. so it might have less power then the KTm, but it will need CONSTANT maintence (oil changes every 10 hours type deal) and will be a bit of a nervous machine.
that said, its certianly a better bike for you then the KTm is

Thanks for the input. I’ll most likely make the trade if the bike seems in good shape and we can make a fair deal. Not the ideal bike for what I want to use it for, but would actually get used!
