KX250F YZ250F Shootout, which one should I get?

Agreed....look at the clutch cover hardly any wear and it doesn't look like it's been repainted.....could back up the trailride only statement......i point this out cause when i traded my 08 with 70 hours of trailrides it looked much the same,as Scott411 can attest to......plenty of fellas that putt around on their bikes like me

I'm inclined to get it, about to ring the lad up, but am a bit reserved about the price being too low. Like, how do I find out if there is finance still owing on it?

No idea but how is anyone ever going to trace it to you no ownership papers.

Not sure on that one......as for the low price,a guy at work just bought an 08 KXF250 with 50 hours on it for $5500.....and i always have a browse on Trade Me and there have been bikes on there for 6 months or more that just arn't selling.In fact not much is selling,i'm trying to sell a Pro Circuit Exhaust off my 09 at the mo that is like new....they sell for about $1100 dollars the best offer i've had is $350 and i'm considering it just to get rid of it.....

id would agree with that a lot a stuff is not selling you would most likely get more for it in a bigger market as in auckland but could still take a while.

Just talked to my mate who works in Finance and it can be reoposessed.....but he suggested getting the the vin or chassis number and do a search on an NZ vehicle site,or he reckons most dirtbikes get financed by MTF so you could ring them with the vin number,or lastly you get a signed statement from the owner (with all his details)declaring there is no equity owing on the bike and that is a legal document....i know the last one would be difficult as it is in the South Island which brings me to......my mate reckons things generally go cheaper down there so who knows...............could be the deal of the year, you never know
