crf, are the best 4 stroke out there right now. unbiased opinion. they are great racing but the yzf is a little better on trails, dont really know much about the rmz.

AHHH you dont quit do you...
I have ridden the 08 CRF250 and an 07 RMZ250 which is almost the same as the 08 RMZ. Also I own a 06 YZ250F and have ridden both 07 and 08 YZ250F's.
To say the CRF is the best moto machine out there is the most bias answer you can get bar none. THe CRF is a good bike don't get me wrong, but it has traits I dont like.
I really liked the RMZ, it turned like a dream (a suzuki trait) and had decent power.
I like my YZ's. They are very middle of the road. They really dont have any negative traits.
Really, the best bike for you is the one you feel the most comfortable on. No one, not even a magazine can decide this for you.

i think you are biased. if there was a bike made that was better in every category, and it wasnt a yamaha, would you switch from yamaha to that other brand bike?
and look at the post dates. i said this before me and you got into.

Tell my how I am bias then? My post clearly stated that I have ridden all these bike, and this is what I noticed. Did I say, the Yamaha is by far the best, no I did not.
I think in this category I know more then you. I know how to ride a bike fast and I can tell when something is working for me or not.
If you find me a bike that is better in every category, I will buy that bike.

Not to but in, But if ANY brand of bike is better then mine for what i use it for then thats my next bike! I'm looking HARD at the KTM 250SX. And Pin has been through alot of bikes sence i'v been here and always gives a review and i know he can ride them. His opinion would be one of the first when getting a bike he has ridden. Sorry, back to you cats.....

I spend my money on what is the best bike for my application. If that is KTM then yup. I'm true to blue because they make the best bike that i like. I know you were kidding , but really if a better bike is out there for MY needs... im all over it. Dependebility plays a big part though and i have that with Yamaha. But i'm looking hard at the KTM's.

So i guess (I) would only recomend a Yamaha as well? Your barking up the wrong tree as we have ridden alot of these bikes and 2-4 and we like the best no matter the color.

no i have seen many of his posts and to me i dont think he will ever suggest something that isnt a yamaha. he says i am biased but i tell about different bikes and advantages and disadvantages and most of the time i just say pick your color but he is determined to get everybody to buy a yamaha.

Shure your not talking about me ![]() And ummm your wrong eather way. And picking a color is not smart when choosing a bike for YOUR application as different bikes have different attributes! You would know this if you rode a alot of bikes!

all the brands are good and a good rider can be fast in their application on any bike. the bikes are made to the same thing, yeah a 125 is going to be different from a 450 but you can do the same thing whether it be a kx250 or ktm250. now if you say that there is a big different then all your doing is following what the magazines say.
