I went and looked at a 2004 RM250 today. It had a ProCircuit Pipe/Silencer, stage 3 reeds, handguards, 49T sproket, and an offroad tank. The bike has all the mods i would want. The power comes on smooth and isn't violent at all compared to some of the other 2t's i've tested. However, the power shouldnt be a problem. He is asking 2000 negotiable. The bike has been sitting for a while and hasnt been ridden at all in the past year or so. It needs a new graphics kit but the plastic is in great shape. He used the bike for a little mx and woods for a short period of time before he bought a 05 CR450F then a 07 KTM300. Any suggestions? My dad wants me to go with a 2t and i've found alot better deals on them but the newer 4t's are just so nice and i love the torque. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
