New CRF300 Rally or Used CRF250 Rally
Been stalking the site for awhile refreshing my historic knowledge on bikes (last rode and owned a bike ~30 years ago). Just got re-licensed and looking for a small dual-sport bike for exploring the local trails and roads.
Goal is to find something that suits my riding style (fairly adventurous) without allowing me to do something stupid (physically almost 50, mentally still 15).
After months of reading, test riding, and considering, I have decided on a small displacement Honda; reliability, capability, limitations, etc.
My question is purely around selection. There are several nearly new stock 2020 CRF250 Rally available in my area (~$4800USD) with 1000 miles done. The local dealer has a new CRF 300 Rally available, but is not allowing test rides as he knows he can sell it because of limited stock.
So, what say the community? Save the $1650USD and buy a used stock CRF250 Rally or pay the full retail on a brand new CRF300 Rally?
Cheers!
