looking to buy 01 250 mxc?

[duneslider]

I am looking to buy an 01 ktm 250 mxc. I don't know much about ktms or dirtbikes. I have owned atvs for many years but my buddy is talking me into a bike and they look fun. Tired of working on my banshee all the time too.

I have been looking at a really clean ktm and think it would be a good bike for me but internet searches don't turn up a lot for this particular bike. I will be riding mostly trails and forest roads and a few trips to the dunes each year.

My buddy is pushing me towards a yz or cr but the ktm seems more my style. Am I wrong?
What should I look for to make sure this bike is good? Am I gonna have trouble finding parts for this bike?

i have an 02 300 mxc. it has been a great bike. i do alot of woods riding and mt bike does wonderful. my buddies have yamahas and suzukis and we went through some rough sections my bike ate rocks up bumps and everything else. it handled way better and allowed me to go faster then them. i recommend you at least look into the 01 250 mxc
