[QUOTE="markthomps, post: 836215, member: 18626"] DO NOT buy that '97 with a blown top end. That's junk on top of junk, even at $1200. There's not a '97 CR250 out there that's worth $1200, even if everything works. I bought my '97 new and I've been racing mx for decades, many of them CRs. The '97 was the single most evil handling, unpredictable, nasty, harsh, screwed-up mess of a bike that I'd ever encountered. After dropping about $1500 into modifications on the thing to try and fix the problems, I still had a bike that wouldn't consistently hold a line (go where you want it to go) and that you couldn't trust to do what you wanted it to do. I sold it at a loss and considered myself lucky to find someone dumb enough to buy it. A '97 CR250 is NOT what you want for a first dirt bike. Run screaming in the opposite direction from this deal. Find yourself a clean '96 or a 2000 on up CR250. Any of the CRs from 91-96 are excellent. It's only the '97 and '98 (and to some extent the '99) that are awful. [/QUOTE]
