Take a look at ’em in person.

What the owner says to you will tell you more than the advert.

You might try saving a few more bills so you can have more 250s to choose from, if price was the thing. Keep in mind, a lot of guys with 250’s are looking to move up to a bigger bike, and will try to get as much if not more than they paid for it from the listing.

Keep looking. Try to find something that has been maintained well. You don’t want to buy someones else’s problem. If the exterior of the bike is really beat up, odds are the owner didn’t take care of anything else (such as oil changes) either. Now that may not always be the case but I would definitely steer clear of anything that was “knocked down a hill” by a car.
