Im looking too buy a 1984 CR250. I will be using it too get back into MX racing. I weigh 120lbs, im 5'8'' and im 16. Im not a pro but I know how to handle a bike. Will this be a good bike for me to get back into the sport with? I have raced before but its been about 7 years. Also any racing tips, like work outs, diets, and on the track info from people who know what they are talking about would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
How much would a piston and rings cost for this bike?
 
I would not touch a bike that old. It would in no way be competitive with the bikes that are now being produced and you could have problems getting replacement parts for it.

I would save up a bit more and purchase something a bit newer.

If just starting back out make sure you get plenty of seat time before attempting to race and slowly build your fitness up to cope with the length of a race.
