This dude knows what he is talking about. He rode the hell out of that Honda 250. Good looking bike in the tight nasty stuff. I still say the YZ 250 smoker is just as good. But in the tight stuff smaller is better. Thats how I feel. Can't wait to test my 09 TE 510 in this stuff. I didn't buy this bike for the nasty stuff but gotta try it. It wil be my dez bike longer distance 120 mile loop bike.

Now I am thinking about finding an older TC450 instead. I would really like a YZ450f with e start, and the TC450 is probably going to be as close as one can get to that... Of course, the ones in my price range will probably be 2004's, and I will need you people to help me keep it running.
From what I've been seeing, you should not have a problem finding an 06+ in the 3000 ball park. Just yesterday, I was talking to BMP Bill and he has a very nice 05 TE250 with the original tires for 27. He has resonable shipping rates too. Have you looked at previous Ebay sales prices?
Thanks, but I am looking for a 450. The 250f's I can master, and I don't want to be the one in charge.
I understand, I was mentioning the 250 just as an example. Maybe call Bill he has deals all the time. 503 585 1153 http://stlouis.ebayclassifieds.com/...qvarna-te-510-rare-find-low-hours/?ad=8412796 http://sacramento.craigslist.org/mcy/2160593646.html
Another great bike to consider in 3k range...04-06 ktm 525. I sold my 06 for 3200 for my new wr 300. Am kicking myself now because it would have been an awesome ds bike. Its indestructable, not horribly bad on st, very much the lazy mans bike with torque like u wouldnt believe. That is if you can find one....
i know a few cats that have them and yer right they are kinda hard to find at times as they tend to hang onto them, they work and last.
