So I am looking to get a dirt bike and supermoto it out. I decided on a 250 so that Bueller can continue to pass me like I am standing still and I can continue to blame it on the bike (which is not the reason) rather than my riding skill versus his (which is the reason).
I have 2 choices, both bikes are basically stock:
2005 CRF250R - Used, about 75 hours. $4000
2005 CRF250X - Brand new from an unnamed source (but not where you would expect) $5061.
Both prices exclude tax, there will be a tax difference too, about $100. I might also want to ride it on the street in sumo trim.
I am planning on making this a super moto but keeping the dirt stuff so that I can do the occasional day at the MX track and (and this is more important) go trail riding with it. What would you choose and why?
