I would be very happy on the '99 YZ.
The YZ was the best bike from the mid '90's to the mid '00's until KTM bested them with modernization (just my opinion). The YSS is the best thing since the cartridge fork though.
I know this means nothing but between '96 and '02 I had each year YZ125. The '98 was my favorite, but the '99 was exactily the same. I kept the year old bike as my practice bike and the extra engine and suspension work I did on the '98 was really nice. The '99 got the suspension from the '98 but not the motor (139cc). When I got the '00, I sold the '99 and kept the '98 (after getting my suspension back - of course). Almost no parts fit from the '01 and up but everything fits well from '96 to '00.
I found that out the hard way...but that's another story.
