I think you would be much better off with a 250 2 stroke. For the fact there cheap and reliable in comparison to a MXer 4 stroke. The 2 stroke is also lighter and cost less to operate matinence wise. Where in Canada do you live. I live in prince George, BC. I know around here there is not alot of racing that gose on besides MX.

i live in Ontario, and i really want a 4-stroke, sorry guys :) i was looking at a 2002 xr200 mint condition for 2800, I'm asking the guy if he will take 2400 for it

does that sound any good? (willing to upgrade the bike)

If you like to push bikes to the limits then I would go for a yzf or Wr before XR I just sold my XR 600 and it wasn't a bike that liked to be pushed. It was more for riding around camp and stuff.
