I Know I have shared a lot lately which seems to irritate Some people
But any way
Here is another I am considering
I only Have 1 picture as of now
But belongs to a local guy C rider
It's a 2015 KX250F
He says it has around 100 hours
And needs a Steering stem Bearing
And the rear shock is currently Leaking ...
I'm pretty sure I can get it in my price Range
Of $2500 or less .
Any one know how much to
Fix the 2 issues ?
And how much I should expect to pay to
Have top end done just as preventive
Maintenance if I pay a local guy to do it ?

I do agree the New ones for $5000 to $6000
Look great and I would get one of I could .
The Shop
not buy this
bike.
But a couple things go through my mind right now
1 have Been looking online mostly
Craigslist and Facebook every day
For a month and I Havent seen any blown up 250f's for sale
. It crossed my mind to purposely buy a blown up
One and get it fixed because then I would know it has no hours .
And #2
Crazy to me how close the price is between new and Used
Even 10 year old bikes people are asking $3000 for
And you can get New for around $5000
Its really pretty crazy
But I still dont have ,$5000 to spend lol
Ive helped a few buddys pick up used bikes just gotta know what ur looking at or as everyone above has said you could end up upside down quick.
If you think you are going to get a used 250F four stroke for cheap AND it was maintained well, you are dreaming.
Also, please enter the words in a format that humans are use to seeing. Thank you.
Kx250 prob get with the new Forks$1500
I also have an old Suburban I'm gonna sell.or trade
Pit Row
You can find decent used bikes but they are hard to come by. I agree with everyone that you should save the money and buy new, but atleast if you check those things i listed you can tell if its been rode hard and put away wet. If it has more then 60ish hours get back in the truck and leave.
That is if you will travel. Good luck.

But its more than I have to spend right now
And it's getting so close to New RMZ for $4999
, I can Get The 2015 KX250F with more hours
I was planning to look at for $2200
Angle I just though of actually
At $2200 this is the lowest priced 2015 ,
I could probably buy it
Ride it for a month or two and easily sell it and get
My money Back as long as it dont blow up .
Which is a gamble but
I'm also not very fast
It's not like I'm justin Barcia
Wide open on the track
If I'm lucky I'll get to ride once a week i have to load it up and go somewhere to ride I cant ride from home .
Would you Get a lower our 2008 250f with a Carb
For a low price ?
Or a little Newer (2015)
Higher hour bike with efi
For a low price ?
