I have a soft spot for the XR line of bikes as that is what I lusted for as a kid. An XR200 in the driveway would have been the ultimate for me. So my search started with the familiar; XRs 200s and 250s. There are a few for sale locally. And none of them look like dogs.

I face the reality that where I live, getting to the closest trail riding is a minimum 1 hr drive whereas my local MX track is 20 mins away.

So knowing that I'm likely going to be on the track more than trails takes the XRs out of the mix (unless someone tells me otherwise)

There are a number of CRF230Fs and 250Rs for sale locally. The 230s appeal to me because of their rugged nature (and I always root fot the underdog!) but I recognize their limitations and wonder how much money I'd pour into a 230.

I'm not worried about the maintenance of a 250R because I can do everything myself. Adjusting the sixteen valves on my ST1300 or dealing with its combined ABS braking system makes almost anything else seem easy!
