Looking at buy a 2002 KTM SX520

Are these bikes any good? I have been looking at some 250 two strokes and some 450 fours. Are these reliable? How is the power? Is $2000 a good price if its in good shape? Thanks

What kind of riding do you do?

SX is a 5 speed.

Mostly just trail riding with a few jumps here and there. THis one is a 6 speed. I don't know if he went through the gear box or not but it is for sure a six speed.

Personally I like the MXC or EXC because they come with
a 55w stator, and lights.

I'd say $2000 for a 2002 520 might be on the high side, unless
it is cherry.

If you do mostly single track woods riding, I'd look at a 2004 and up
300 two stroke. Just my two cents.
