900 dollar's new bike or upgrade old bike?

[AnTs]

Well ive been wanting a another 4 stroke but the only way i would go for it is if i could buy a 2004-2005 model. But i just got 900 dollar's by selling my old car. So should i sell my old bike which is in mint condition 2001 cr 250 and combine the money and buy a 4 stroke or should i upgrade the hell out of my cr250?

I know it would take a while to sell my bike and find a bike that's the only reason why im leaning towards upgrading mine.


But i cant think of any more upgrades, i know their is a **** load but is there any that would make that big of a difference?

I have a FMF fatty, and power core 2 silencer so far, not that much but what else could i do...



Im just really confused im not good at making big descions by my self :( I could maybe get 2500 on a good day for my cr 250 since it only has around 60 hours on the whole bike and is mint + 900 = 3,400 so i dont even know if that is enough to get my a 2003-2005 four stroke.


But any opionions or help to lead me in the right direction is good :)

I'd keep your bike and put the money into having the suspension setup to your weight and riding style. That makes a whole lot bigger difference than an extra 2,3 or even 5 hp, unless all you ride is dunes.

Sell the bike se the money to buy a nice new bike. Then when you get more money you can modify the new bike

For me i sold my 01 and bought a 06crf450r.. You got too ask yourself "Do i plan on riding at least once a week or just a few times a year?" I ride just about weekly so i went the new bike route.. FWIW, i sold my 01kx250 in 2 days being it is a California green sticker bike and i kept it in good condition..

easy question, first it seems like you dont have alot of money. Ive heard the upkeep on the newer 4 strokes is expensive. Also if you like your Cr keep it, if not sell it.

Yes i ride weekly, it's just im only 17 and i do not have a job at the moment quit my old one about 2 months ago. So i cant get a new 4 stroke like 06. Ill probably just keep the cr.

thanks
