2005 KX250 vs YZ250 vs CR250

Ihave looked over all the yz250 dynos from 01 to 05 and they range from the 05 that was tight to a best of around 47hp for a fully modified one, i dont think a std 05 will make 47hp.

He's right there. You really have to know a genie to get much more than 47hp. I know what you mean about the Hondas being more comfy. I took a chance and haven't looked back with my YZ. It just took a while adapting to the power delivery and body positions. Made me a better rider for sure. You're in a very fortunate position with all the deals on offer so have fun with whatever you decide on :ride:

That looks like a modded motor because the engine is peaking at around 9500 RPM???

Thats a 03 with a v force or a boyesen and it has no conversion factor(eg sae) so the results are only really good for comparing.... well nothing as if the tests were done at different temperatures then its no real comparison at all.

Also note that it is easy and fairly cheep to change power output and delivery (porting, jetting, flywheel weight, exhaust etc), but much harder to change handleing or egronomics. Sounds like the CR is the best choice for you.

Enjoy :)
