If it´s any help I got a 2009 rebel 250 from a college kid bit of rust here and there just got done re polishing all the chrome and de rusting everything. It started right up and ran pretty well no major problems as far as I cN tell need to turn carb and clean the carb but all that being said I paid 1500 for it and I feel pretty happy about it , hindsight I feel confident I could have haggle and got it for 1300 maybe even 1000$ if I completely commit to only 1000$ but yea. Hope it helps
