[QUOTE="2Wheels, post: 219964, member: 3804"] A friend of mine is selling his dad’s 06 CRF 250 X. He brought it over yesterday because it’s been sitting in his garage for years and it wouldn’t idol, or start without carb cleaner sprayed down its throat so I pulled the carb, jets totally plugged as expected, put it back together and lit right up. Idles like a top, pretty good throttle response for a carb, says his dad gave him permission to sell it and keep the money because he got baby coming. says he’ll let me have it for two grand. I don’t know what I can flip it for, very little inventory these days to compare it to but seems like a good deal for that bike, I know for a fact it hasn’t been ridden in 4 years and didn’t see much action before that. Original owner. I’d be shopping for myself if I was maybe 60 yrs old and needed a Cadillac to ride but low weight+hp is my ride of choice and I ain’t giving up either at this point. What’s a similar bike going for in your area? I’ve got 3 comps here local, everyone’s riding, not selling. [/QUOTE]
