AJP RP5 250 enduro bike for $4700 new.

zactly.

I did get a quote on the AJP PR4 today at it was higher than I thought at $5,570.00 OTD. I also drove to a dealership today and was also quoted $8,599.00 OTD on a 2015 KTM XC350F and $7,650.00 OTD on a 2015 KTM 250 XC. Decisions decisions.........

HAHAHA The dealer only had one blue,white, and yellow KTM and it was the FC450 . He sold all the other 14's and is waiting on the 15's. I asked him how the new Huskys sold and he said the new KTMs sold very well but he misses the red Huskys.

PR4 retails for 4999, somebody has to pay shipping, either the dealer, or the customer, and I am assuming OTD includes sales tax? On the other hand, I don't see how they can sell 2015 KTM's that cheap if that price includes sales tax. That sounds like dealer cost plus sales tax. Maybe I am just use to Tennessee sales tax at 9.75%

9.75% ouch damn

It's an out of state dealer so I think I skip the tax thing with the KTM's. K I've had a 2009 Husky TXC510 and a GG 300 and I just don't like the chug chug of big CC engines. I don't think me and a 500 KTM would get along. Heck I'm not sure me and any KYM would get along . I'm way past getting itchy to pull the trigger on a new bike but I don't want to jump on one that doesn't work for me. BTW I haven't been on a KTM newer than the two 08's my son had(SX450 and SX505). I didn't care for either other than they were fast.

Thought about the Beta 350 too . On the Sherco, it's the bike I "think" would fit me the best but with no plans at this time for 15's in the USA I'm to chicken to pick up a 14.

Yeah I bought me one of those TM things in 2011, a shiny new 250 MX. Way to much bike for me ! Gave it to my son. Fun a hell in my back field but tried to kill me on our MX track!

Thanks for your input K and if I get a chance I will do so. I just read some post over on the KTM site and it seams quite a few think you have to really wring the 350 out to get at the power. I shouldn't be hjing this thread but how's the power on the 250XC 2-strokes ?

Thanks for the plug Mr Motard!
John, you will find that Betas are easier to ride than KTM's, and I believe the AJP will be easier yet. I am leaning towards taking on AJP not only because of lower price, but I think they fill a void that is not being filled in the market.
By the way, we have high sales tax, but no state income tax.

If only the OEM Red Husky team had kept/installed the 450/510 counter balancer shafts into the TC/TXC ..... those 08-10 TC/TXC450/510s would still be raising eyebrows. Those things are some sturdy red huskys.

Here is another article ... Might be some bleed over from previous articles but not sure ..

If you notice, the guys who made these bikes and are trying to sell them, keep using the words "enduro" and "trail bike" ... That's their target audience, their business model ...

For you young guys, before the term 'Dual Sport' became important, 'Enduro' bikes are what we all rode on streets and trails ... I still like that term for my small riding ... Dual Sport generates the idea of more street oriented riding to me ... Enduro means more dirt-oriented riding... Not true racing but off just plain motorcycle riding anywhere off a paved road.
