I think part of the reason the CRF250L's price is so low is because it uses the CBR250 engine and has not the greatest chassis, though I'm still considering one. There's no super reliable, street worthy 450 thumper they can steal from another bike.

A lot of guys just plate WR400/426/450s, I hear they're some of the easiest to get street legal. Of course you have to live in a state that allows that though. But most of those trail bikes, even if they have decent valve adjustment intervals, still need the oil changed like every 600 miles. That could mean changing the oil every week for a lot of people... I'd bet that would get old fast IMO.
