I recently bought on 02 CR 250 and of course I read evey post about it on the site. I just want to say that the bike is probably the sweatest MX bike ever mass produced. Now I know I'm going to get responses about the poor airbox design. I admit it is a problem but it takes 5 minutes to fix. Ok I exaggerated, it takes 10 minutes to fix. Also I "hear" from a lot of people that the engine is lacking power! Who do these people think they are RC?? Unless your drag racing a F16 down a runway you couldn't possibly use all the power this bike puts out STOCK. Some jetting work (as with any bike) and the bike is ready to go. All I have done to the bike is add a 49 tooth sprocket. I haven't touched the carb and it runs like a dream. One of my firends who has the famous for low end 1998 KX 250 told me that my 02 CR has more down low than his bike. And he just had a new top and bottom end done two weeks ago. As for the suspension... I don't think anyone will complain. It soaks up the bumps like a 10 shammy!
I guess you will always have those who are never satisfied but if you are considering an 02 250 MXer get the CR! You will not be dissapointed.
Just my .02... thanks for listening
