just wanted some opinions, i have a 2009 CRF450R that i am getting ready to put up for sale. has about 12 hours on it. how much should i list it for? it is relatively stock. only thing that isnt stock is suspension which was done by pro action. the reason it wasnt rode much is becuase i had just gotten this bike, rode it, sent the suspension off and wadded on my 08 250f (motor blew on the face of the triple at my track) i have decided to sell both bikes and buy a 250 2t yzinger just to have fun. i am in college (text books arent cheep) and just opened a lawn care buisiness and am only fast enough to not win any money back in the A class!!! LOL. the 250F has 29 hours on it and a fresh rebuild. runs great, has been rode hard by me (A rider) and has a 280 kit in it currently, and a cut down seat and a lot of other sweet stuff. really pimp bike. prolly the BEST bike i ever rode. but the 09 barely feels broke in! just wanted to know how much you guys think would be reasonable to ask for both of these bikes.
It's worth...maybe $1200.00 TOPS. I will give you $1150.00 CASH, plus a gift certificate to Hooters for $50.00.

Good choice on the YZ250. You will enjoy that for years.
I think you should be able to find a buyer at 4k for the 450 and about 3 to 3500 for the 250f imo but you're gonna have to be patient ..... maybe trade the 250f to someone that has a yz and doesn't know much about bikes there are a lot of those out there
for around $4000, but start at $4500 and make sure it looks like new. If you trade the
CRF450R in to the dealership for a new 10/11 YZ250 and can get $3500-4000 for it,
do it because with tax savings your getting an extra $300 for it and not having to deal
with a 100 silly offers. Just my .02 worth.
4 strokes aren't worth shit. I recently sold my 5 year old 06' KX250 for $3300 and thought I took it in the ass.
I also have an 06' YZ250 (285cc now) and its a great bike, but I thought it was expensive at $5500 back in 06'. No way would I spend that kind of loot today on Yami's old-ass technology.
Instead, I'd be knocking on KTM's door if I were in the market for a new MX smoker. Not to dis the YZ cause it is a great bike, but to dis Yamaha for their shitty business practice of raising prices with no real justification. Lighter brake calipers and wave rotors dont warrant a $1500 price increase IMO.
I sold my 250 for $2900
and bought my 450 for $4600 (super duper clean, had less than 2 hours on it)
I paid $7200.00 for a 2010 YZ450F , and rode it for 6 weeks....best I could get out of it was $5800.00. So I lost $1600.00 in 6 weeks.
It's ok though.....since I would of lost that amount on any big 450 anyways. And I ended up getting a bike that I'm a little more comfortable on.....and that's what counts.
Pit Row
Couldn't believe it. Basically was able to keep me racing for a few more years.
