Asking a question like this on forum with members all over the country is kind of pointless. No offense intended. But bike prices are different all over the country. You do not find bikes in the Pittsburgh area as cheap as some of these guys say they are seeing bikes in their areas. Plus some will always tell you that you paid too much, lol. I got my 2003 KDX200 for $1000 last summer (lucked into a friend of a friend deal) and a few guys said it was a great price and some said I over paid. Whatever, I don't let price talk get to me. If you like the bike and feel it is worth it to you, then it's a good deal. That is how I look at these days.
