I'm gonna do it. I'm calling you a fricken theif, cause you just stole that bike.
To be fair, that's exactly what I bought 3 years ago, and it looked to be in the same condition and I gave $2200 for mine. Then I put $800 into the suspension. Added an 11 oz. flywheel weight and now she's perfect. I absolutely love this bike.

I'm always searching Craigs List for a RM250 in decent shape. Looks like you found a good one there. Missed that one. I have not had a bike since I sold my 93 RM250 in 1994. Just looking for something to go play on every once and a while.

Lightning78 I saw yours on there the other day also. Looks nice but just out of my price range.

I always cruise too, lookin for those skid row deals. This one I got lucky and the guy labeled the bike as "mx 250 Suzi dirtbike" so searching rm250 wouldn't pull it up.

I always set my prices a little high for negotiation purposes, PM me what you think is fair and lets talk

A V-force 3 reed block, and a pipe/silencer is a must!...so is adding a Stealthy flywheel weight for more tractability IMO, but others don't like it. I'm doing the RMZ plate/fender this winter myself. I always run Wiseco pro-lite pistons and have had nothing but great results. These bikes take awhile to warm up, I always wait till I feel warmth on my rad cap. That's really cheap insurance, and the motor will last a long time. My biggest beef is the super soft stock bolts. I've replaced most of them with track pack ones. Have fun turning under everyone! Wink

That track looks like a lot of fun, reminds me of a place around here that got shut down. Great video btw, what was the song at the beginning?
