I want the current YZ250 engine in the current YZ250F frame. Or something similar.

I bought a 2010 YZ250, I will buy another new bike in the next 1-2 years. If things don't change it wont be another Yamaha.

I will have a perimeter frame 250 2T soon, The way things stand today my choices are.

2011 Service Honda CR250AF (1st Choice, I love the Honda chassis)
2011 Service Kawasaki KX250AF (2nd Choice, Because I'm mad at Honda)
2011 TM 250 (3rd choice, They now have a dealer in California)

All good choices Glenn. :D

The AF KX's look great.

The way things are going your choices will be the only way to get up to date bikes.
Euro or AF.

The Yamaha of my dreams is a 1980 YZ465.  When that came out it was a real world-shaker, and they looked damn good, too!

There you go Jetz, there's been one on Craigslist for quite a while now.

Not a bad price if it's all restored like it says.  $1900

That is actually quite a price.  But I'm afraid I have to pass on the Yamaha of my dreams so I can save up for the Maico of my dreams.

There is also a Maico for sale on Craigs list, 1984 Maico 500.

They are going to sit for those prices. :-X

Maybe in this economy.  The Yamaha is reasonably priced, $1900 if it's all restored and in great condition is what they can go for, maybe down to $1500 would be better.

The Maico, the 84 isn't as popular but it's a great bike none the less and has the proper heat treatment on the gears.  $2700 is a bit on the high side but worth it.  I'd say $2000 to $2500 would be more reasonable for that particular year provided the engine is completely healthly. 

Although I would say fair market would have the Yamaha at say $1200 and the Maico at like $1800.  I'd pick up the maico for $1800, of course I am out of room on bikes.

ya that looks nice in the two stroke version. I still couldnt bring myself to buy japanese again though.

I actually really like what Yamaha did with the styling for the 2010 model.  It made them the best-looking Japanese bike, in my opinion.  The only problem (and it was a big one) was the engine in the middle, which of course would be fixed in short order if they made the bike pictured above.

I made a reasonably long post and got a lot of support with people 'liking' what I posted. A lot of two stroke support
