I have had a 94 KTM 300 EXC since I purchaced it new. It has only been used for the rugged rocky cactus infested desert offered in Arizona. The bike has been very versatle on both single trac and open desert. I have added ample protection such as skid plate pipe gaurds shark fin, front disc gaurd. All Plastic has been replaced as nessacary. The motor, suspension has been meticulosly maintained. I have ridden quite a few of the newer model bikes to use as a comparison, even though the bike is going on ten years old. When it comes to the desert. I am still smoking a lot of the younger kids on newer bikes. While my experence will take me alot further than a new bike. I still find it hard to justify plunking down 7000k for a new bike. I would say if you can still keep up and stay in your comfort zone. Keep it as long as you can. If your into moto or or dancing too Techno get the glitter.
how long do you keep a bike ?
If i only had the bikes i custom built 25 years ago !!!!
