The maintenance schedule will not be anywhere near as intense for a 2-stroke when compared to a 4. The top end will probably be the biggest hit on your wallet. Expect to do this every year or two (a lot more if you get into racing with it). People on here will say stuff to the effect like, you have to waste time measuring the oil to mix in with the gas. If you think about it, as much as you're changing the oil on your racing 4 stroke like maintenance requires, you'll be dumping every 2-3 rides almost the equivalent of what I'm mixing in. Use a good synthetic oil for whatever bike you choose (my personal favorite is klotz, but there's a lot of good stuff out there). Of the 3 bikes you listed the YZ is the best bet. Honda's CR250 is no longer in production and had weird jetting issues. The KTM SX is super light but does not have the power spread of the Yamaha or it's spot-on suspension. Is the new bike going to be used for trail or MX track? The KTM 250 XC would be a better bet if you plan on riding woods.

Electric start.

Fiesta Island, San Diego? If the bike is not licensed, my bet is no. You might get away with it for awhile, but if the police catch you, they might want to write a ticket.

If this is one of those chinese or korean companies, good luck finding parts for them. Parts are not readily available like the 5 major brands of bikes. I have told people on here time and time again, you get what you pay for….

My wife rides both street and dirt dikes with me. She loves it. She has a TTR-125 dirt bike and rides the crap out of it. And she has a Suzuki Savage 650 she rides alot.

I would want it to be really cold because your body's temperature is already starting to escalate, so that should be able to keep you warm while you are riding so that you don't feel the cold as much.

If you are just after trails to ride on type in www.trailsource.com and that will give you trails in the area

There is no place better to ride motorcycles
then in california street or dirt.

That really isn't the best way to find a dirt bike for sale that you are looking for. The likelyhood that somone would respond with one within your price range and within driving distance and the type you are looking is slim to none.

Your best bet would just be to go on ebay or craigslist. If there aren't any up, you could try looking under ebays completed listings at bikes that didn't sell and ask to see if they still have it and it's still for sale.

And one last thing, 2 stroke vs 4 stroke really does make a difference. the 2 stroke 250 would be more along the lines of a 4 stroke 450 powerwise. I'd reccomend a yz250f.
