The '04 KX250-M2, my all-time favorite bike to date. Last year for the older engine which is a tough bird with enough meat every where to get the job done, spot on handling that corners & is stable and the chassis refinements of the M models that are tough & make working on a breeze (beefier foot peg mounts, lots of 8 & 10mm hardware, etc). Still very competitive even today off-road (I'm still putting mine on the box till this day). Just like how I keep restoring & reusing my old scoots (can't find suitable replacements I like more), I'm glad the magazines are on board too with the older racebike fixer-uppers. Glad it was an '04, though I'd rather the secret of how good this often overlooked bike stay in the box!
