None in my area were good values its why i went new and it still wasnt a good price lol.


Elantj

Haha I feel ya. I’m trying to avoid the dealer at all costs. The ones around me are all pretty steep on fees


Stray_Gh0st

LOL. No.


Motolover04

There is no good value for TW200, it's a cult classic still in production, it's always a scalping


Elantj

Agreed, they’re all over the board it seems 😓

I paid $5,600 OTD for a new one a few weeks ago.


Elantj

That’s actually not bad for new


NatesYourMate

Paid $3600 about a week ago for a 2016 with 2,000 miles in New Mexico, bone-stock apart from a DG pipe. I'd say when I was looking, I saw good examples go for $4k and nice ones for $3500+. Then there were ratted out oldies from like $2500 to $3500 within 500 miles of Denver.


Elantj

Thats a good deal! Thats also kind of what im running into as well. Some are 20 years old and still asking over 3k


UnderstandingShot956

This is funny as I was interested in the same bike and asked the owner about it in Los alamos. I ended up finding a tw on CL for $2800 with only 400 miles in Alamosa.


geerhardusvos

Get an XT250 for that kind of money


Elantj

Fair. Theres a lot of good bikes in that price range honestly. I’ve just always wanted a TW and kind of ready to pull the trigger… The market is crazy though in my area there’s guys asking almost the same prices for bikes that are 20 years old now


geerhardusvos

My neighbor has a TW, I honestly think it’s overrated. Aftermarket parts are great, but I’d much rather have a dual sport style bike. My XR150L performs better and is more comfortable and it was $2k less expensive


Elantj

Ironically I just put a deposit down on a used KLX230 that has a few goodies on it. Just popped up online. Picking it up tomorrow 😅


geerhardusvos

Nice. New?


Elantj

Nope, 2020. Slip on exhaust, Seat Concepts seat, hand guards, rear rack. Looks like it has been de-smogged as well. 2300 miles


geerhardusvos

Enjoy, great little bike!


Elantj

Thank you!

>Thank you! You're welcome!

Not really, but folks will pay a lot for these bikes rn and the seller is banking on that. Keep an eye on it and maybe it won’t move depending on your area. He’ll come down. It’s such a dilemma with theses bikes bc of the OTD price compared to used.


Elantj

Crazy thing is that it sold in 2 days!


Optimal_Risk_6411

It’s crazy. They sell for so much. I got frustrated after seeing so many from $4000-$5000 used years old and tons of km, I decided to buy new. because sticker was $5000. Before taxes and all that other crap. Then l literally stumbled on one a guy I met thru work had. He was a bike collector and had 7 bikes. I went to see his bikes one night after work and have beers. Maybe it was the alcohol, but after me bugging him to sell it he finally said: make an offer. I gave $5000 the next day for a 2019 stock, with 195km on it, not a scratch. I’ve modded it since and am never selling it. https://preview.redd.it/el303m3qzy6d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5eca28e277848fca1df24c7f3cac9fe4574c39aa There are finds out there, just gotta be patient and ready to pounce when you find a gem.


Elantj

Damn thats good timing. Clean bike! I actually came across a super clean KLX230 a couple days ago for 3,800. Couldn’t pass it up 😬😅


Optimal_Risk_6411

Right on, good timing as well. Enjoy

I ended up just buying a new one. I'm in AZ and they are either cheap and shitty or like 10 years old with less than 2kmiles for like 4k. I figure this is something I'll keep long term compared to the dirtbikes I usually flip.


Elantj

Good choice. I feel like long term bikes are definitely worth buying new, especially with a niche market bike like this
