[QUOTE="jb_dallas, post: 1379514, member: 103004"] I agree that $1800 is too much for that bike. I recently paid $1800 for my 2001 XR400 that looked as if it had never seen dirt. The pegs, rotors, engine covers all had minimal wear. I think the 1998 XR250 is a $1200-$1300 bike. As far as the beginner comment being "ill informed", as the owner of an XR400 and the former owner of several XRs and XLs, I completely disagree. As a rider's skill develops, they [normally] demand more performance. The lackluster suspension and low power of an XR250 would leave most experienced riders wanting more. If this comment were not true, we would all be discussing XR250s instead of CRF250s, CRF450s, YZ250s, YZ450s etc in the 4 stroke forums. My XR400 leaves me wanting more power and Im no A class rider. An XR250 is an excellent recommendation for now, but you will likely want better performance as your skills improve. [/QUOTE]
