Which year of the CR 250? I have CR250 year 1997.

[@turdpike]

Mine is a 98’

[@GusgusA1]

what do you think one of these with a blown motor is worth?

[@turdpike]

Where do you live? I can only speak for here in Canada but 20 year old blown 2 strokes people still asking for $1500... They are only going up in price. Usually you can grind them down some though

I'm looking to get a 1998 cr250

Ahh right next door! What size are you looking for? Regardless the size, every year there are turning out to be less and less of them out there. If you can get a blown up anything for 700-1K that should still leave you hopefully enough wiggle room on parts to fix it and still turn a profit if you chose to sell it after. Obviously that will depend heavily on what is broken though. Unless completely roached I feel most are worth fixing. They are in high demand right now.

Oh cool, ok for reference, my 98’ I got for $400. To get it to the state it is at now (I went overkill keep in mind) I put just shy of 3K into it. They bike as it sits is likely not worth 3k, but to the right person it may be. And again, I give it 10 more years and it’ll still be worth around the same maybe even more if we’re lucky
