I have a cr125 and am looking for a 250f. im looking to spend around $2000.00-$2900.00 on a used bke. My dad is telling me it is hard to find one in good condition so i should just buy a new one or a leftover modle. Would i be better off just buying a Leftover or a 2013? Cash is a little tight but i could get the money in a couple of months.

If you want a 250F, every one you buy used is junk. You will only end up spending a lot of money to fix it when it blows, which it will. Cheaper to find the new leftover and go with it. But the cost of running that 250F, is way more than the 125. if money is an issue, which it is for a lot of us, look for a 250 2 stroke. Half the money to fix it up, and it won't ever grenade on you, although there tough to find for the reasons I just mentioned.

a good used 250f is easy to find,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,as long as your going to put a 2 stroke in the frame that is, the only used 250f to even consider is a yamaha they outlast everything but will blow up eventually

how much would a 2012 left over cost? $5000-$6000?
