    400ex

    Stick wiht the 400ex 250r are sweet bikes but not for trail riding. 400 are prefect for trailing.

    If memory serves, the 86 isn't a very desirable year. The later years saw a powervalve addition, and a few other improvements.
    Duncan Racing 340PV, +2 A-arms, +4 LSR axle, and a host of other goodies.

    Try and find parts for the Suzuki? When something breaks, where are you going to get a swingarm, a-arms,etc. Finding parts for the 400 is easy compared to the 250. The 250 might be fast in a straight line, but it will not corner like the 400. You think that the 400 is hard to sell, try selling the Suzuki to someone.
