Many of the Honda dealers in the Intermountain West, including my local dealer, are selling the CRF250L for MSRP, without any bogus charges. Here's a dealer in Scottsdale, AZ, who is selling the CRF250L for $4,269, but he will probably add a few bogus charges.

Hey, culcune...here's a link to the dealer in Mesa:
http://www.advantiauto.com/inventory...00+%2A+Mesa+AZ Hey, Spud...trust me, I've read all there is on the 250L ever since it was announced late last year. The local dealer doesn't have them, yet. I really like the Honda. The CB250R engine has been re-tweaked for lower grunt. Also, on the road, it doesn't seem to have too much past 70...actually takes quite a bit to accelerate much past 60 (according to a review I just read on one of the major magazine sites). Plus, I probably wouldn't mod a bike much at that cost. Ultimately, I intend to do an engine swap or a big bore kit, if possible. So, that's the main reason I'm looking for something a bit cheaper. I can ride it as a 250 for a bit until I get an engine that would work great with the frame. Object is to get it in the 35-40 hp range. And of course, there will be other mods, including a paint job, etc... Thanks! Nuff said. olds_cool63 |

I would think the Qlink/SSR might fit the bill; not sure on swapping in a DR 400 engine, but since they are both SUZUKI/SUZUKI clone, someone (you) could be the Guinea pig...
I have seen this dealer on CL in the past because they also carry other Chinese bikes and ATVs/UTVs. I wonder if they do test rides? I might look into adding one of the XF200s to my carport at $2200. I forgot why you had mentioned drum brakes; the Qlink version uses drum, while SSR uses disc.
