Advice needed on KTM 450SX!!

[supermotovrgn]

I am about to buy a KTM 450sx Supermoto converted. I have always wanted a supermoto and have heard that KTM is the king. It has the street motor with 6 speed trans. The ad reads like this:

2004 KTM 450SX
Very nice. Fresh engine 0 miles. 17" stainless rims, brand new Dunlop 208's. FMF Pipe, electric start, light kit, LED turn signals. Street legal

How streetable is this setup. and how much does a bike like this usually go for?

I am brand new to this so any advice is much appreciated.

I'd say that bike if the engine is really fresh, should fetch around $4500 depending where you live.

One thing to remember, the RFS engine only holds one quart of oil, so if
you ride a lot, you need to change the oil often.

if it has been street or track ridden without a cush-drive, the output shaft on the transmission (where countersprocket attaches) needs to be inspected. This will wear the spline severely and is a very, very expensive fix.

You may also what to inquire of what he means by a 'fresh' motor and how many hours are on the bike. FWIIW, these had Ti valves which are ~$175 EACH!!!! Many will go back with the EXC SST valves that are ~$30 for intakes and $45 for exhaust.
