I was to late it sold today
I did find a 2000 yz 250 for $800 needs fork seals anyone know about 2000 yz's?
I have a 2001 yz250 and as far as I know its essentially the same bike with a few exceptions. My YZ250 is honestly, a four stroke thats fun. I rode it again a few days ago (amid several panty wettings) and its like a light, fun four stroke. Powerband: Pulls a thousand times harder than my CRF250R did at every single RPM. Except from 9 grand up obviously where it just signs off.
Its handling is very front end heavy, if you turn the wheel you're gonna know about it. Well I say very front end heavy for a two stroke. Its obviously lighter than a four stroke and hits harder.
I love it. Lug it, scream it, throw it around, wheelie it, whip it, it does everything right. Only complaint is that front end heavy thing.
If it looks good and Jerams questions are answered favourably by the current owner, snap it the f**k up. Phenominal bike.
