Ever since MxSkillz posted his cr250 project pictures I've been browsing craigslist for one of my one...(just a fantasy for the most part.)
Today I picked up a 2003 cr250 for $900. It was kind of a spur of the moment thing, and now that I have it I'm trying to make up my mind: Clean the bike up and make some money off of it, or sell my 2008 YZ450F and build a low-budget "dream bike."
The CR seems to be in great mechanical shape, it's just a little beat up cosmetically. I'm going to tear into it tomorrow and that should help me make up my mind a little bit, but for now, let's hear what you would do.
I'm 20 years old, slightly mechanically inclided, have the tools to do just about anything to it, and a bit of free time on my hands. I mostly free ride, but I hit the track every once in a while.
What would you do?

I was in a situation where I had to get rid of my 250F, and went without riding for a year, then I bought a MINT 2006 CR250, paid cash for it, did a bit of work to it, full FMF pipe and now I can HONESTY say I could not be happier.
No bike payment. Fun bike. Easy to work on. Light. Fast. I love it!
