This one caught my eye.

Was thinking CRF250 or similar. Will be riding at the track (40 yr old speed) with my learning son (12) on his CRF150R. But looking also to ride trails occasionally. I can ride fast but don't see myself ripping it a ton.

5'11" , 160 lbs.

Are you in the Houston area?
I know the owner of that bike.
I'm sure he's willing to deal on the price.

Picking it up will be almost a pleasurable experience.

Yeah, Houston. Thanks for heads up. Is this a fun bike to ride? Which model do you ride and what kind of riding do you do?

I have a 2018 XC 250.
Most of my riding is in the Sam Houston National Forest.

I've never owned a 200. Everyone raves about them.
A bit heavy. Solid ride for sure.

Here's a smoking deal.

I had an 02 200 EC ages ago. Best bike I ever rode. Till I rode my mates 300. But as long as you aren't in deep mud or a never ending up hill they are just fantastic.

I haven't ridden that many 250 4 strokes but the ones I have have been boring. 450s go ok but are heavy and cumbersome.
