2500 at most, Id expect your gonna get about 1800 bucks tho. 450r is only worth about 3500 used and in excellent shape.

I was thinking $1800 i had an offer for $1200 wich i think is low, but i only have the money of the the parts in it, i came across a great deal and pretty much ended with a free 400, but even though i hate to say this, i want a 250r

well 250r's are really sweet BUTT the 2strokes are not my favorite due to the obvious reasons. BUILD the 400 :D

The 250r motor is outdated compared to modern 2 strokes, it would take about $1200 in motor work to make it comparable to a modern cr250 motor.

A big mod for 250r's is the CR ignition, the CR ignition is $400+ from what I remember.

250r is a AMAZING bike, excellent for many different build types and racing situations, it can be bored out to a saber cylinder or a puma cylinder if you want BIG HP. But thats strictly for drag racing, I wouldnt build a saber or puma for off road riding or racing it would just be wrong.

They are cool but need alot of money to hook up, I would buy a 250r if I were looking to restore and keep as a collectible item.

Im toying with the idea of doing that with a honda 350x or the quad version of the 250x, build it inside the house on the wall or hung from the ceiling in the garage piece by piece...lol

Anyway, a 250r as a collectable or as a hybrid for racing would be really cool.

Around here you'd be lucky to get 1800$.... I'd say 1$1600 if it looks alright

What shocks are on it? I'm thinking it would bring $2K-$2500 up here depending on how it looks and assuming it's upgraded shocks.

Dang i wish i could get a fourwheeler for that cheap of price. I paid 2150 for my 05 400ex and it only had a full exhaust and it needed rebuilt. :p

My buddy and i just sold a 05 400ex that we totally rebuilt top to bottom for 2,300 and it had little things like nerfs, air scoops, pro taper bars, etc.

Hell yah buy a 250r!

I had a stock ported cyl 250r set up for MX that I sold a few months ago :(

Straight up whoop any 400ex around here on a track.. If you can keep a high strung 2 stroke in the meat of the powerband you're absolutely flying! Pulled very similar lap times as my 450r (+1 or 2 seconds on a 2 minute lap)..

It's a different animal.. but minimal mods (pipe, porting, high compression dome) will put you in front of an EX in my experience.

plus they look bad *** :D
