YZ250 or YZ125 - New Bike

[kevforth9]

get the yz 250. cheap to maintain and easy to work on. top end will last ages if you dont thrash it. my first race bike was a 2009 YZ250. barely used to turn the throttle.

gear it up, add a flywheel weight and a suspension revalve and you will be set.

parts are cheaper then ktm too. (in aus anyway)

I agree, buy the YZ 250 if you are primarily trail riding. 125's often struggle in hill climbs on trails, and KTM's are pretty expensive.

I really do appreciate all the input. I'm definitely using everyones advice for my decision making. Anyone have input on this bike? http://www.rossrochersales.ca/rossrocher/detail.aspx?dt=138897&app=107&cat1=367&cat2=&tp=3&lk=no

The XC's are nice bikes.
Buy what you are comfortable with.
