    Welcome to KB(KiwiBiker)... You will find one soon. but don't pay more than $2000... (I have seen people wanting to sell a 250 that's 16 years old for $7000)

    I've never seen a 250, exspecially a ZXR thats in good condition for under $4000.

    If its under $4000 it needs work done it.

    If your really looking for something in the 250 class for $2000-ish, your looking at mid to late 80's models or a GN250 lol

    Wrong again... I paid $500 for my 83 GN and it purrr's like a beast.. (Could be the rusted exhaust... LOL)

    Just kidding with you... GN's are the only cheap 250's you will get. I just can't justify paying $4000 for a 250 when you can get a CB750 that almost needs not work done at that price.

    You could get a wrecked one for 2k...
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

    Bull.. need I remind you of my mighty zxr 250 ...... now it was a beast and changed hands a few times at well under $4000

    Zxr's are over priced but if you find one that is "cosmetically challenged" you'll find thier price dropps substantially. And is a good way to get a decent bike and slowly do it up when the funds become available.
    Lump lingered last in line for brains,
    And the ones she got were sort of rotten and insane...

    yeah but you work on all your own bikes, and no doubt there was stuff you had to do on it... I'm saying in general, you don't see ZXR's that don't need work done on them for under $4000 very often, and most of the time when you do they are the "A" model...

    The only work I did on it was general maintainance (oil change etc ) and the stuff I had to do when I chucked it down the road..

    DEals are to be had on the 89 bikes just need to look out for them.

    A newer model as placid said won't go for much under $4k I think the cheapest I've seen is a little over $3k.

    eh... 250 prices suck!!! and it sucks even more if you have to fix one you've chucked down the road or in my case into a cliff thingy... lol

    Yes... the prices do suck!!! But once you get your full licence and you get out of the 250 demand chain you have more choices to pick of.
