I know this is yamaha but i never go into honda so here goes....
I was riding with my friends yesterday and we had a new guy join our group....He has raced 125 dirtbikes for a long time and was very good at one time(dad says he beat ricky carmicheal when they were little but cough no)anyway he got tired of dirtbikes and bought a blaster..it has a dg pipe and silencer and a vitos piston with 18 inch holeshots on the back....We rode around for a long time and he really likes his blaster but he wants to upgrade....we were jumping off this about 8 feet drop in the sand and he started realing he was gonna need better suspension and such being about 6'1.....HE doesnt want a banshee or a raptor..he really has his eyes set on a 250r or lt 250r....Does anyone know how much it cost to get a clean mostly stock 250 and how big of a step it would be from a blaster??He loves his blaster even after coming from a 125 but needs something to race!Thanx

 

A 250R would be a huge stepup from a Blaster. A guy here went from a Blaster to a CT310R, and it almost got him hurt a few times. He did a little dance on the side of that R, after overjumping a jump because of the added power.

The old LT250's are fast, but have many problems. If he wants a fast 250 2 stroke, go with the R.

 

Thanks,that was what he wanted to hear,but are there any r's that are still in good condition!

 

Hmm, there might be... This one seems to be in good shape [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
