Right now I'm looking at two bikes. 1996 CR250 and a 1997 YZ250. Both are the same price and both seem to have been taken well care of. Lets assume that both bikes have the same amount of ride time and they are 100% stock (only because I'm not sure of that yet).
So which bike is better? Are there advantages of the older CR vs the new YZ? Was '96 a good year for the Honda? Did Yahama make any changes to the YZ in '97 to make it the better decission? Does it come down to brand preference with these two particular bikes? I was told to buy the newest bike you can afford assuming everything else being equal, is that true?
