I wouldn't quite compare it to a 300EX, but I get your point...
It really depends on this: If you like 250Rs, and you want one, the '88 250R is a very desirable model year. If you are just looking for another bike, buy the one that fits whatever it is you want to do with a new bike or just take the best deal...
Two very different bikes, that is for sure. I agree, everyone likes different things. :beer:
