I've got about $2500 to buy a bike

[sandrider02]

I used to have a 01 CR250 but had to sell it for financial reasons, but I have the money and going to pay cash for this one. On the CR I financed it. I'm thinking about getting another 01 CR250 but there are other bikes that interest me like an 01 YZ250 and the SX250. I want a 250 2-stroke and need to know what the best bike would be. I can get any 01 maybe 02 for $2500 around here so what bike do you guys think I should get.

I'd get the one that is in the best condition when you go to look at them

I bought my 02cr250 around 8 months ago for $2700 and it was great condition with lots of extras (pro-action suspension, full applied clamps, oversize bars, v-force, x-ring chain, gripper seat cover, holeshot device, fresh tires/ sprockets, etc.)

If you are on a tight budget, I'd stay away from the KTM's. I ride one and really like it, but the parts are quite a bit more expensive.
