Hey guys. Looking for opinions. My current bike is a 2014 yz250f. It’s in pretty good shape but it has some time on it. I am stuck between “building” my current bike (motor,suspension,chassis) or just going and biting the bullet on a brand new 250f(new yz or crf) I guess my major concern is dumping the money into a little older of a bike that may or may not stay relevant with the years to come. Thanks guys!

Additionally, you don’t have to worry about existing wear on the parts you did not replace during the rebuild.
If it's a 2 stroke that likely won't be hugely updated or a second bike like one of the classic's people love (e.g. 09 CRF, any old 2 stroke) I can see a case for building it up, but 250F's are largely just a tool for a job so may as well go new instead of putting yourself in a hole over it, plus the newer models are quite a bit better right off the bat.
in all honesty, id prob just spring for the newer bike as 250fs lose their value pretty quickly. unless you can do all the machine work yourself...
