Help. Need bike w/ electric start

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: tlannom---------------------

I currently have a Honda CRF250r. I love riding it, but I need something with an electric start. I ride with my two sons (ages 9 & 11) and I am constantly getting on and off helping them out. In the summer, the constant kickstart is too much. I am 175 lbs, 5"11" and have not been riding that long (1 year, but rode some when I was younger). I basically ride wooded trails. I am moderately aggressive with a few small jumps thrown in for good measure.

I am looking to spend around $3000. I like my CRF250R and was thinking about a 2004 Honda CRF250x. Although mine has been fine, I have heard some complaints about valve issues. I have also found a 2004 Husqvarna TE250 that seems like is in great condition. While I have heard great things about the KTM 250XCF, I can't find a used one. Should I go with the Honda, Husky, wait for a used KTM, or something else?

Thanks,

Id go with a Yamaha WR 250F. Its got electric start and the motor is bulletproof.
