Default Need 250r Help

For the last couple of weeks I have been looking for 250r's. I have found 7 I am interested in and I need help deciding which would be the best mx quad.
Here they are:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7

Please let me know which ones you like and which ones you dont. I personally have been leaning towards number 2 because it has aftermarket shocks as well as the big bore. Thanks for all your help

HiFlyin

Probably the best thing about #2 is that it is the original owner. That in my opinion is a huge plus. The price is right also. Looks like the best buy to me also. People say the quads will lose value with all the new race built ones coming out, but they are dead wrong. Good luck in finding one.

for those high prices i would get an 89!
the prices will drop when the new honda 450r comes out. they may be asking 4100.00 but they wont be selling them! dont let people BS you trying to say there still selling like hotcakes.
i had to sell mine when 250r's where still a hot item and only got 3700.00

For those of you who think they will be selling cheap, go ahead and think that. Just a few weeks ago a man came up to my wife at our local drags and offered her $6k for her bike right there and then. She told him it wasnt for sale. It might depend on where you live, but around here the bikes go for a bunch of money. They will become almost a collectable in a sense and will not drop in value. Think about it, a 4-wheeler that is 15-18 years old and bringing close or more than what they were new. It would be extremely entertaining to see what would happen if the R's were able to run a 330cc or 350cc displacement against the new "sport bikes". There wouldnt be any competition then.

I am looking for ones that already have the aftermarket a-arms, axle, suspension, etc. and thats the main reason they are more expensive. I have pretty much made my mind of on #2 above if the seller is willing to ship.

You need to be checking on ebay, there have been quite a few on there for decent prices that are getting no bids.
