def go for the 97, had a 91 which is basically a 92. nice bike but the 97 is so much more advanced, worth the extra loot.what you do in mods will equal the 97 price and stock performance to a 92

 

Use the money you have for a down paymet an a new one. The monthly payment ofter about 2500 would'nt be much at all. Because you would also have a warrante. I hate used anything.

It was like that before you let me ride it...really.

 

no warrenty on two stroke mx bikes, only 90 days on a 400ex anyhow

 

ohh..... get a yz 250f then

It was like that before you let me ride it...really.

 

still no warrenty, race bike same for banshee dont know about blaster, if one only 90 days

 

spt. atv action says a banshee has a 6 mo. warranty

ride like you stole it......except don't set it on fire when you're done

--98Warrior(why did i pick that name it sucks!!)

 

atv action is full of sh!t....there are NO warranties on performance machines...you have the lemon law that helps and that is it....I repeat on the banshee there is NO warranty...someone is smokin crack....

If you can afford it, buy the newer bike. I have a 96 that was never ridden and is completely stock. I paid $3050 (USA). The thing rips over all the older bikes I have ridden. I used to ride an 87 CR125 with every mod, but it was crap compared to the newer bikes. (don't flame me the bike was awesome in it's day/wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif). Bring cash and walk away with a great bike. Look at both and you will buy the 97. The 92 will look like an antique.

My friend had a compression release on his XR250. I never used it, but he only weight 120lbs, so he did when it was cold.

I'd go for the '97. Take cash, and take it home. 600 bucks is what you might have to do to the '92 to make it perform close to a newer bike. Why not get something that is better from the get go. Then all the mods make it that much better.

I have an xr 250 and I don't use the compression release to kick start it but when i bump start it i use it. I just stick it in second pull in the compression release and let out the clutch and it starts right up.

Thanks for replying everyone... I think I'll either look at this '97, or save up some cash to put a down payment on a new one. The only thing that turns me off getting a new one is that I'm not a hardcore rider or anything... I don't race, just ride trails (challanging ones, however,) on the weekends. I mean, I ride a '79 mx100 right now, haha!

 

Just remember that if you buy a new ride , you'll still be buying tires , brakes , chains and sprockets , and all that stuff ads up...

Aw , quit your whining...If you want an easy ride, then buy a street bike and stick to the pavement! Otherwise , grasp the reality that if the trails were easy ones , you'd call it a pussy ride!!

 

I'm no pro mxer or anything, but I still bought a new ride this year just for playing around the coal mine. It's nice to have the best available, if you can handle the payments and the insurance. Lots of buys around here buy new just because it's practically cheaper than buying a older bike and having to redo everything, put on mods and still not know if the thing was trashed before they got it.

One more thing. If I bought a new bike, I'd hate to ride it the way I ride my old piece of crap bike... Is there anything to consider about the way you ride a new bike? Is it going to take wipe-outs well?

 

get a skid plate, and hand guards, pipe guard, radiator braces and other protecters if you are worried about scrathing your bike. falls happen

 

Got a 92 myself great bike. But don't pay a dime over 1500$. Any more than that and it ain't worth it. If you want to spend more deffinitely go for the newer model.
The down payment idea is a good option also. New is new ya know. Good Luck!!

 

Crash? So what, plastic is semi-cheap. I actually kinda worried about it too, but the improvements in the suspension and ergos alone make me stay on the bike way more than I stay on my old one.

ufo and acebis is the best hole kit for 120, front rear fenders, side panels, numberplate, and shrouds. deal out of most mags

 

by the newer one...and my only piece of advice....

RIDE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!!!!...and if you dont you aint ridin hard enough!!!!
