hi,
So I have been looking for a 250 four stroke race bike on Craigslist and came across this 2005 Crf250r. The guy bought it brand new in 2005 and raced it in 3 races. He pretty much stopped riding it in 07 because he had kids. There was also a new top end put in to it in 2007. He says the bike hasn't really been riden for the last 10 years (he would occasionally warm it up). He replaced the fork seals in 2013. He put an fmf powercore exhaust on it. The handle bars are pro taper, the brake line is steel woven but probably needs a brake flush/ maybe a new master cylinder, and he put new different plastics. He's also throwing in a new front tire, and other things too (pickup truck ramp for bike). I checked all the fluids on the bike and they looked fresh/almost brand new (he said there the same fluids 10 years ago). The engine area looks like it's worn a little from riding it. The bike started on the 6-7th kick. The engine sounds good. What do you guys think? Is $1750 a good deal on the bike? Let me know if you have any questions. I'll have to put a YouTube link in for you guys to here the bike.
