I know of a very clean 2001 CR 250 that's for sale.
Beginner owned (at the moment...I bought it new, and sold it to my cousin in 2007-after it sat in my garage for two years-when I purchased my 2006 CRF 250...and I sure wish I hadn't done that, I love that bike)....new top and bottom end...new pipe...new tires...new sprocket/chain. he's ridden it maybe three or four times since I sold it to him and he had the motor rebuilt right after he bought it.
It's a great bike! New and gently used motor.
Let me know if you want his number....
He's pretty firm at $2,200...but will take best offer as well. I think it's a fair deal at that price.
(he would even take a trade for an '00-'02 XR 400...that suits his skill level much better)
