True, but given all the upgrades (forks, shock, engine and mods, pegs, hand gaurds, pipe, oil cooler, sub frame, plastics, tank, tire, airbox/filter, levers, etc.) and the care taken to maintain reliability and increase performance, I figure it is probably worth it.
Besides, I could not find a CRF250X for under 4K and would still have maintenance concerns.
From what I gather about the seller, he maintains a high level of quality in his bikes and takes pride in them, I feel pretty comfortable that the bike is solid. It is hard to guage how well other sellers take care of their bikes. He poured his heart and soul into this project and has a detailed history of it. That adds a level of comfort to the purchase.
It is a little heavier than I would like, but given that I have not ridden in 3 years, a bike that is a little more forgiving is probably a good starter. I can always upgrade later if I outgrow the bike.
