It's a two-stroke, better to buy used because they're SO cheap with this 4-stroke craze, and a siezed motor is only $150 ish from running...
I wouldn't buy a new KX250 anyway. I may have a Kawi now, but if they don't want to support 2-strokes, then they are simply not my favorite company. KTM still has the 2-stroke lineup alive and evolving. That's where your money should go if you want to kepp the pingers around

There are many other companies that still sell 2smokers. Husqvarna is big into them and still developing them. TM has a huge lineup. Gas Gas and
KTM of course. And crap, I just had a few more in my head but forgot about them. I know I'm forgetting a few...
I don't think this 4-stroke only thing is going to last too long though, maybe in the larger dez races where a big 4stroke is preferable but if you look into the WORCS series more and more riders are racing 2strokes. Kurt Caselli won a round on his 300exc against Ryan Hughes, Ricky Deitrich, Destry Abbott, Nathan Woods who were all on 450s. At the last race in Tougal Washington not only was Caselli on a 2stroke but so was Mike Kiedrowski (hall of famer). I give them major props, I hope more people follow them.
Sad day it truly is though...
