Buy-in cost for a brand new one is more than what you're looking at for that RS, (I think he's asking $16.5K) But the maintenance is going to be way less. Kramer also sells a bike with the KTM 890 motor that has 130hp and weighs 308lbs.

Yeah, starting cost is more than freshly-rebuilt RS250R, but maintenance will be cheaper! I'll check that out, thanks!
