well around here if you own a yz be ready to spend 200 dollars on a brake rotor. now at my honda/kawa dealer you can get the same rotor for 100 dollars. this is why i stopped saying to get a certain brand. because other things people need to think about is avaialbility of parts. you tell someone to get a yz beat to hell and back and there might be a suzuki in really, extremely, good condition for the same price but they get the yz because you told them too.

btw pat, did you know that bryton is like 12. he can barely ride his kx250. and i am sure he can only barely ride his ktm 200 but the reason he loves it so much is because he can ride it better then the 250. now if you got him a smaller bike like an 85 or 125 i bet he would love it even more just because he could be able to ride it.

lol. actually yeah, i use to go there all the time. i use to get all my parts there. and the yami dealer i was talking about was bohn which is right up the road from the honda house. i stopped going there because there are 2 places that i go to now. both on 51. angles cycle and 51 auto. angles is a wholesale cycle store and you can get stuff real cheap there. and 51 auto is pretty cheap too.

lol. wow. thats why i asked him if he'd ridden anyhting else. and brought up biased opinions. if you go back to the original post. you will see that the man in question is to big for an 85 or a 125. he needs atleast a 250. now. im sure we have confused hte hell out of hte man because of the bantering. so im gonna leave it at this. and im not posting on this thread again till a real question pops up ~pat

no angles is right down the road from century 3 mall. 51 auto is in elizabeth. like if you start at honda house and go to century 3 mall but go past it, you will come to angles cycle but go past it you will come to 51 auto.

well. lol i broke my vow earleir on lol. i see elkps point. but im riding a bike thats to big for me to. i dont need a 250. hte power is not usable everywhere here. and a 125 would be fine. but i chose a 250 because i liked the seat height. it was fairly cheap and it was in good condition. i dont think many people on here riding 250's actually need to. but it dont matter now. hes got the biek hes got and hes happy with it. bryton dont matter what noone else thinks ehh. its cool. elko, in my opinion your riding a bike thats to small for you you seem good enough for a bigger bike. ~pat

nah it scares me. i cry when i look at 250's. jk. i have to get a truck before i get a new bike. but you all saw my thread about if i should get a 250t, 250f, 450f. i think it may be a 250f just for racing purposes. i will be able to race in the lites and open class and i will be able to throw it around. pat come on im not that good. im a decent B class racer. the last few years have really held me back though. like this year my bike broke a lot. and i just got my bike last year and the year before that i was on my 80. like the last 4 years were thrown out the window that could have been used for practice.
