[QUOTE="karterron, post: 300821, member: 29122"] The 00 Honda I am looking at has the Pro Cicuit pipe and silencer where the 01 YZ250 is stock. Do you think that would even it up as far as motor goes? Keep in mind I have not ridden a bike in a long time, so do you think I could even tell the difference? There is a $250 price difference so I figured I would go with the one in the best condition. I figured given my riding ability and what I am using them for, power and suspension would be a toss out as far as my decision goes. I have been out of the loop and didn't know if there were any problems with either I should be aware of. I saw the air filter issue but wasn't aware it was this year only. I would be more concerned with reliability issues than which has the best power or suspension. I am still thinking about that stiffness issue which makes me lean a little towards the Yamaha. My kids will go all day so I do not want something hard on the old body. I have to say I was shocked when I decided to get back into this and started reading the magazines and read how far Honda has fallen. I can remember when all those shootouts and comparisons were a race for second. Oh how far the mighty have fallen. I remember when Honda had the sweetest motor and the biggest complaint was the headshake. If you read a YZ250 comparison it seems like an old comparison on a Honda and they just switched CR250 for YZ250. I never paid much attention to those anyway because unless you are a pro your not going to ride these bikes to their fullest potential anyway. I had always had Hondas so that was what I bought regardless of what the reviews said. [/QUOTE]
