i was thinking about selling my yz250f and buying a 250 2 stroke yz..i am an experienced rider...ive been on bikes since i was 6..so i no what im doing..but is it that much of a difference from a 250f..im about 5,11 and about 160 pounds..i no u guys always ask for that lol. thanks  

Im selling my 03 YZ250 for 3500. Its got the GYTR unbreakable levers. FMF factory pipe. Race Tech suspension. Works connection radiator braces. Renthal Fat Bar. I have a pic if you would liek to see it. You should have no problem with a 250 I weigh 145 and im 5'6 the yz250's have a great motor which is super smooth yet is fast.  

are you in canada?? or where are you at  

Irwin:

You never mentioned that you were from Canada. What part of Canada?

If you are from the East, you had better start posting in English and French! You know the law!

hahaha im from ontario not to many french people  

I've never ridden the new 250F so I really don't know what I'm talking about in that department.  I own an 06 YZ250 though, and it's one helluvamachine!  Really, this is the lightest and quickest bike I have ever been on.

I am 5'11" as well and find the seat height challenging while in the paused position, otherwise, it's a nonissue.

You are experienced rider, yes. The 250 two stroke is the same weight as the 250f but with a lot more power, and it is usable power. Look at off-road results. All 250 two strokes. The newer rm, kx and yz are very good. I have the 04 RM250, and love it.  

Hmmm, I'm 5'6" and only find the seat height to be a minor hassle on my '06 YZ-250.  Its actually 37.5 where you sit; not the 39" they advertise.

Of course; all dirt bikes are tall to me :-)

Well I'm 5'11", but my legs are only two feet long!  Eeek!  

what part of ontario r u from  

the YZ250 should not be too much different from the YZ250F, it will have more power, and it should feel lighter, cuz i heard the 250Fs feel top heavy.Im 5,11 also , and my YZ250 is is just perfect. and the suspension on the YZ250 is set around 16o-180 pound riders. im from ontario also, where abouts in Ont u from?  

Y'all with the new Yz250's (O6).. if you don't mind me asking... how much did it cost-- OTD? I am in the market for a new one.. just curious what you guys paid. Thanks.

get a 450! your bigger you can handle it. a 250 is to loud.

Uhh....a 250 2 stroke is quieter than a 450 4 stroke buddy.  

Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.

i dont know about that 2 strokes are very loud.
