[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 195725, member: 1650"] What I was saying is, that if I was looking for a crf250 in that vintage I would look for a basket case and build it the way I wanted. (I would pay 3-400 for the basket case as I did 4 years ago) Kind of hard to imagine a guy spending all that money and selling for what he is asking. if his idea of just rebuilt is 10-15 hours of use, then it is now USED and probably used pretty well. Anyway, he probably knows what it's worth now. I won't say that the crf was unreliable, stock with a few changes it is reliable. The difference in that one and the yzf is that the yamaha turned out to be very reliable just the way they come from the factory and allowing for modifications. The Hondas came with valves that were mismatched to their seats at least as far as reliability is concerned. To fix it right you spend 4-700 dollars. Stainless valves will take care of the metal mismatch, but you end up with heavier valves and "heavier" valve springs. both rob power. [/QUOTE]
