'Wanted to run some pics by you guys of a '99 kdx220. Looks clean but the price seems a little high. Any comments about the year, price, and apparent condition? 'Hard to tell, but I think it's got a gnarly pipe - my understanding from this forum (and I have been reading voraciously) is that a gnarly may not be the best choice for the 220 since it's got a decent low end (right?). Not very much written detail, but like I said it looks good (decent graphics too).
The place is only an hour away so it's probably worth a look. Any suggestions on a good price to offer?
Thanks ahead of time, you guys are great!!

"gnarly pipe" is it a REV or Torque???
The Rev is what wakes the 220 up.
From the owners description:
"very clean bike .... starts runs and rides great .... headlight for night riding .... FMF fatty Chrome Pipe and silencer .... hand guards and fender bag make this a great go anywhere bike ..... priced out the door ... "
It's a clean looking bike. $2k, possibly

As far as KDX's go...'99 is no different than an '06 other than the "BNG". Technology is the same.
That bike looks extreemely clean from the photo's. Most noticably the frame. Either it's been re-painted, or it's seen little use. More than likely the former being that it's a '99.
Is $2000 a good price for a used KDX? Well, it's been said before...a bike is worth whatever someone will pay for it. Sellers who are anxious to sell tend sell for less. Buyers who are anxious to buy tend to pay more. Is $2000 unreasonable for a good quaility, well maintained dirt bike with aftermarket goodies...No. Could you find one for less...probably. Would this seller take less...probably.
Sorry, that probably didn't help much.

It looks to dealer prepped I wood say 1200-1500 tops there are better deals to be had. besides the pipe is there any records of other work done on the bike? all the shiny plastic and tires with a missing OEM head light would make me think they are hiding something.
the frame is to clean I would think this bike could be freshly rebuilt or a painted and powdered up dog. ask for some detailed history. its hard to ride with out scratching the frame. for 2800 you can get a 03-04 KDX. these are great bikes but the resale value sucks the only true value is possessed by the owner. my bike is worth 6 grand to me, and 1800 to the open market.
