Here is my situation....

I was thinking about getting a cfr450x, but my buddy approched me with this offer. He said he would sell me his 97' XR400 to me for $2000. Its still like new, he had rarely ridden it. It still has the original tire on the back. Not sure exactly the specifics, but he added a light kit w/blinkers and brake light to it to make it street legal. The bike is VERY VERY hard to start when cold. But once warm it starts with one kick. But i just think something needs adjusting.... It is in very good shape and he has a back tire for it that he had for 2 years and never put on. I had never ridden the 450 but heard its pretty darn fast. To me the xr was always slow. The electric start on the crf450x is a real plus.

any opinions?
