Just looking at the local craigslist
At the Different price points
It seems like its Around $3000
To get any FI 250f
Then from there the choices get tough
Do u just go for the $3000
Or for $4000 you can get a really low Hour used
Bike
Or for $5699 you can get a new KX250F
So price anywhere from $3000
To $5699
And I'm Pretty sure you can get a 2018 KX250F for $5999
What would you do ?

Look for boot wear on the clutch/flywheel covers, rounded bolts on the motor and suspension, look at the wheels...bikes that are ridden a lot will have wear from the tire rubbing on the rim while its laid over in corners and the wheels will be beat up. Pull the air filter and feel the inside of the air boot.
Personally I would buy a Yamaha 250F used because you can plug the EFI tuning tool in and get the hours. Always ride the bike and let the guy know that you plan on hitting the rev limiter. I bought a used 2016 KTM 350SXF that cut out when you got into the higher RPMs, turns out the fuel pump was bad.
The Shop
Definitely legit.
It sounds like CL is much more sketchy than I thought, even on recent bikes (in france it is usually pretty honest).
So to the OP, I can only suggest to go with a friend who will inspect the bike with you.
Every one does think there bike is mint
And almost everyone one says new top end
Most without receipts
But on the other side
People here in Minnesota cant Ride 6 months out of the year
So the bike's have half year in the garage
And because they cant Ride 6 months out of the year
They are slower and less hard on the bikes lol
.. Dungey and The Martin's are Exeptions and spent Many Many winters out of Here I'm pretty sure
Pit Row
I'm planning to Go look at a 2012 RMZ450
Because of the price( $2600 obo) even tho
I want a 250f
That 2016 for $2800 of your buddy's sounds great what brand was it ?
Up to this point the best
Price I have seen for a 2016
Was a 16 RMZ250 for $3200
Which I wish I would have got but I didn't have the money at time
For the above prices, new IMO is a no brainer unless you can get a bike that's just been sitting for a few years with no hours.
If not, a very low hour used bike can be a good deal if you happen to jump on it quick enough. I picked up my 7 hour 2017 YZ250F for a steal over winter. Texted the guy low balling him and he bit. Thing had 1 scratch i didn't notice for over a month while i was building it up for the season.
