New Build Or New Bike?

[York Racing]

Ok so as many of you know, I am parting out my 240 Stroker to move up a class in racing. I've looked at 450's and even 400's and they are outrageously expensive. So here's the deal. I need some opinions. At the local track we are about 1/4 of the way into the season and I really want to race. So here are the options
Option A:I could buy a 1986 LT250R with a bad crank and repair and build that.The cost of the 250 build would come out to be around $1300 for a piped machine with reeds and I would end up with a snappy two stroke race quad. I will be able to be racing by the end of the year.
Option B:I could save up for this year and next and buy a 450. I wouldn't have cash to upgrade it but if I get on a TRX450R I already have a guaranteed sponsorship deal that will provide me with Stage 2 Hot Cams, High Comp piston, PEP suspension, Roll Design A-Arms, and free race fuel. It will take 2 years to save up enough. I'm looking at around $3000+ for a TRX.
If I get the 250R I will be placed with the 450's. What do you guys think? I need opinions.

Ok 95 I will explain to you too. I HAD THE WORK DONE AND PUT THE QUAD TOGETHER. I don't see what is entirely wrong with that. I don't dress up in a lil flower button up and put a camera around my neck when I work on my wheeler. I got the port work and 240 kit in the middle of summer and I wanted to ride and didn't even think to take pictures. So if you want to bring this subject up AGAIN in a completely different thread, go ahead. Question me all you want. I can show you my old 240 piston and if it will shut you guys up, I'll mail it to you! So once again, I'm not going to tear into my motor and ruin gaskets that I don't have spares of just to show some kid pictures of the port work. So please, take the poll and help with an opinion or quiet simply, leave the thread. It's that easy.

And as a matter of fact, I will start looking for the paper with all the work done written ou on it.

i say wait for the 450. if it was a trx250r it would be a different story but i wouldnt race a lt.

I would just wait and get the 450.

and if I where you I would not get the hotcams, get the HRC cam... it; much better.

Alright thanks for the input guys. I think I'm going to go for a LTZ and build it into a 450 slaying machine. I've seen what I can do on a LTZ. =]

Ltr450s are the most powerful 450 in the class. PROVEN FACT, but yes, save the money and find either a ltr/honda... Honda being one of the lease expensive, but ltr fast?.. Idk cause u say your sponsered right? now is that with a certain company? Like Honda/Yamaha ect..??
