For the cbr250, like i said, if u buy at that price, i'm sure u can sell at that similar price with little drop in value. It's for people to learn and there's currently huge demand for learners who can't afford brand new naked bikes even though a few K extra.

For others, they may only want to learn, sell, and buy a bigger bike later.

It's your first bike, not your last...
There are plenty of other bikes that you can buy that hold there value, cost you alot less in the first place and wont have the maintenance issues of a 20 year old bike.
