Default Am I crazy? (buying second klx)

Spring is here and the bikes are starting to pop up on sites like craigslist.

Local fella wants to sell his '09 klx250s for 4000.00 can. or trade on a truck. Same upgrades as my bike, q4 muffler-air filter-jetted etc.

Ive got an old toyota pickup in very good condition, definitely worth the value of the bike.

I'm obviously thinking about the dirt capability of the bike and being able to swap the wheels and calipers over when I want to hit the trail. OEM prices on this stuff is listed higher than what I payed for the truck (it was partially a gift)

My math is like this:

Value of truck = wheels and calipers
Remaining parts on bike = $$$ for big bore, rack, spare parts

It's too early to ask my roomate if this is a good idea so the second opinion goes out to you folks

Well, I have two, but one is a 650 big bore (678cc).

Hey if you don't need the truck, why not then? You can never have too many bikes.

Not crazy! I want to buy that bike but I have absolutely no use for it. I already have a 2012.

You should buy it!
