There’s no way in hell you can get a legit ’09 250R for 2K used. They sometimes sell for more than MSRP used around here. An ’08, MAYBE, but not an ’09. Honestly, I’d be too sketched out by anybody selling at that price to take it seriously. Scams indeed.

The YZF-R125 (I assume that’s what you meant) is, as far as I know, Europe-only.

There’s no way you’ll get an 08 or an 09 for 2 grand.
Alot of people payed more than MSRP for them in the first place, and if they financed they still owe more than that. Get the best older 250 for what you can afford, learn, ride, and grow…then buy the bike you really want.
More than likely you’ll be able to sell the pre 08 bike for the same price you bought it (considering condition and how you treated it)
only way to get am 08/09 for 2k is if it’s been salvages or crashed, then you gotta fix it.

If it’s your first bike/moto riding…it will be dropped/crashed. Buy used and make your mistakes on a bike that won’t hurt your feelings or pocket book as much
