It's about as close to brand new as you can get! I like getting them like that it allows me to do and add only things I want not have to deal with what some other yokel put on there. You should've seen some of the other one's that I looked at that were even more expensive. One had painted plastics and an alligator seat cover Sick

Are you good at pulling wheelies? Or railing berms? You got a great deal!

You definitely got a "smoking" deal on that one. Great looking bike and from what I hear the RM250 is hard to beat in the power and handling department. My kid just picked up a sweet 04 model RM125 that had a fresh top end and new tires on it. He works at the local cycle shop and with new chain/sprockets, grips, fresh plastic, graphics and a new DEP pipe and silencer he found on Ebay along with a fresh suspension service he only has $2000.00 tied up in it. Super light and it rips. Fun bike.

Nice find! You should have bought the one with the snakeskin seatcover, but then again, life is full of regrets. The RM handles like no other.

That's EXACTLY what happened to me ..... I rode an 01 after being off from injury and I felt like I was 20 again! Im only 30 now but it felt so natural being on a bike like that ...something that has been missing since I went to the 4. They're not for everyone but they are RIGHT for me!

No the guy I got mone was from outside Fresno we met at the Gorman exit. Then I had to drive back took me about 5 HOURS!! I hit LA traffic at it's peak, thought I would sneak by just before but didn't happen. It was agonizing.

zjbell, why do you ask? I didn't see one for sale around here.....

Ive been looking at some mods but every test I read said the bike is hard to improve upon, V-Force is an option as well as the pipe combo but I don't think im going to run a shorty on this bike probably use a standard lenght silencer to keep the top end power. Actually I just need to get out and ride it ....even the great MXA had nothing bad to say about the suspension.

Did a ton of research on the last of the two srtokes 04 and up which led me specifically to the 06 RM250. I think of all the choices this one suits me and my riding style the best.

Wow racerX that thing is NICE!!!!!! $2800 is a great deal for a bike like that. The trick is to find one where the seller absolutely has to get rid of it then you have the power. He originally wanted like 3,250 but it hadn't sold so he kept dropping the price to get rid of it. I had been watching it since the beginning of August while I was trying to sell my 250f once i sold that I went and got this the following week.
