Title: need opinions
Post by: sb317 on February 26, 2011, 03:50:16 PM

New guy here.  Been lurking for a while.  Just need some opinions.  Rode zuk's since '91 starting w/ rm80.  Always been die hard yellow.  Got a barely used '09 yz250 a while back after the Suzuki shop I bought stuff from for years changed owners.  I got the suspension revalved.  It's in great shape.  I've been thinking of selling it to get a 05-07 rm250.  I had a '02 rm from 04-09.  I wish I could ride one to make sure but nobody I ride with has one.  I just remember liking the steel frame.  The aluminum framed bikes have always felt a little harsh to me even after getting the suspension done.  Had a 09 kx250f for a short while and felt the same way.  Am I making the right decision selling a '09 for an older model?  Thanks.

Considering that Yamaha has not updated their bikes in five years... You wouldn't actually be getting an older bike. I definitely recommend getting the bike you are most comfortable on.

YZ's are a little better quality but not enough that I wouldn't buy an RM-and have.Nothing turns like an RM.If that's what you like-go for it :)
