I sold my 2004 KTM 250exc a couple months ago but am now looking for a replacement and these newer husky's intrigue me.

I've never bought a bike on eBay so it's a little scary, but who thinks this would be a good deal even if I had to pay $550 to have it delivered?

Even with shipping it would be a savings of more than $2200 over a new 09' WR250, plus it already has hand guards, skid plate, radiator braces and spark arrestor.

Is there much difference between an 06 and an 09? I'll be trail riding only, not racing. Would it be an improvement over my old 04 KTM?

That eBay wr250 looks pretty nice but hopefully won't go much over $2000. I have an '06 and loved it for these past three seasons. Should be about the same performance if the exc is a two stroke and should be a nice jump up if it was a four. The wr is light, nimble and fast. I use it for trail riding in Michigan. Only complaint is it needs another gear for some high speed sections. Tight gearbox seems is a benefit in nearly all other situations. Post a note if you buy it.

I think his reserve is over $3000, so I'm not sure if it's worth it by the time I pay to have it shipped.
