So this is my first post and I figure I'd introduce myself as well with this.

I'm 16 and from Idaho. I began dirt biking back in '01 '02ish and I had a KTM 50. Started getting the hang of it quick and started racing. My first series I did I placed 1st in state. Sadly I outgrew my bike and my mom sold it. She did not get me another. Broke my heart but it was repaired by watching 8 years worth of dirt bike videos! I'm am now 16 and I got my first job this summer. My mom agreed to loan me the cash for a dirt bike! I'm super stoked that I got a new bike!

Picked it up for $1350 and here is what the upgrades are.

2002 CR250R

FMF Gold Series Fatty
FMF Shorty
VForce Reed Valves
Renthal Handlebars (Not sure exactly which ones)
Painted Frame (Not sure exactly how I feel about it though. Your thoughts?)
Extra set of white plastics.
Brand new grips, haven't even opened the box yet.
Very new levers, not sure what brand. But they flip forward as well, and I heard that's good so they don't snap if you eat shit.
Some gnarly foot pegs.

And I'm sure there's some other stuff that I failed to mention.

And he even gave me a helmet cause I didn't have one haha.

looks great, i dont mind the painted frame with the black plactics

Get red fenders and fork guards.

Welcome! Not really into the frame color but I'd say you got a descent deal for a great bike.

Nice! Enoy...

You sure it wouldn't look weird with 2 different colored plastics?

OEM has white and red plastics. All the same color is just blah to me. Make it a black bike with red trim or a red bike with black trim.

The black plastics that are on there, are they aftermarket black, or just painted?

Sorry for the late reply, but I believe aftermarket. They aren't chipping to a different color or anything. And I have white plastics that were on before these.

Nice find! CR's are the best bike ever built over the last 150 years. *maybe not, but they are great bikes*
