Hi everyone, this is my first post although I have been lurking and reading for the past month or so. I've grown up with bikes (I'm 28 now) and I've had an '80 IT125, '81 CR125, '81 YZ125, 83 YZ250.. then a 10 year break.... then a '02 DRZ400S dual sport, then a '00 CR500 (AWESOME BIKE!)..... I sold the bike to help pay for our wedding last summer.
Now I NEED another bike. I'm by no means pro and I'll just be using it for open fields, bush, hills and some sand. I prefer to keep it out of the air as my landing skills are somewhat lacking. I'm looking for an older bike so that I don't have too much $$ into it, just something fun with balls to ride (I have too many expensive hobbies).
I am very close to purchasing a '92 YZ250 from the original owner. Very nice shape (other than it's frickin' pink :coocoo: ) It has an aftermarket pipe, silencer, pipe guard, bars, new chain/sprockets and the guy that owned it was a Yamaha mechanic and was never that great of rider and never rode it that hard.
Sorry for the long winded post... stay with me :) So I've read everyting I can find on the 92 yz250. Does anybody have one of these or know of common pros/cons regarding this bike? Suggestions? Thanks in advance all!! :cool:
Oh, there is also a 92 RM250 for about the same price and same condition that I'm looking at as well. I'm leaning towards the yz just because I've had yz's in the past. Is either one better than the other??
