I would say that the best thing about my 08 YZ250 is the suspension that has saved my butt from big get off's at least 10 times. Everything else is perfect but the lack of bandages and plaster is priceless. I plan on getting a 2011 that will sit while I modify and use up my 08. Then I get the same great bike to start over new again. Years ago this would be a very bad plan but the bike is that good.
