You should be able to find a klx250 in that range

Is that a blue plate bike?ended up picking up an 08 YZ250FX with a skid plate, bark busters, exhaust and an ownershipfor $2700
Sweet bike and a pretty good deal. Although the fx was not made in 08, it's a yz250x motocross model. Not that it really matters unless you're mildly ocd like me. Lol

If you were going to buy an older 250 4 stroke those yamaha's are probably the one to buy. Owners seem to report pretty good reliability. Change the oil every 4 hours, clean the air filter (I like no toil for ease of use) and check the valves now and every 15 hours or so.
Most importantly, have fun!!! You won't enjoy riding on the street the same way as you used too. Dirt is just too much fun. It will make you a much better street rider though so that's a nice little extra bonus.
Those bikes are all motocross race bikes. If you look for a trail bike it's much different. Bikes such as a klx300, drz 250, crf230, ttr230, kdx220, any honda xr etc, these are trail bikes. Change the oil/air filter and they run forever. They are heavier than race bikes but they are ideal for those just learning or someone who wants to ride offroad several times a season without the high ownership costs.So I too have been kind of debating on whether to get a dirt bike or not (for trail riding) and I keep seeing info like this...
oil change every "X" hours,
check valves every "X" hours,
Rebuild head every "X" hours.....
I am very familiar with hour counts on equipment.... its the low number of hours that all these things need to be done at that is putting me off. Can someone please explain it to me.... It seems like these bikes need more maintenance time than you get riding time. Are there dirt bikes that don't require that much maintenance....
Like oil change every 4 hours... If I went trail riding for a day I would assume at least a solid 4 hours of run time. So its an oil change per trip?
Or maybe if my timing perspective is skewed hopefully someone can set me straight...
