[QUOTE="Lorin, post: 1181692, member: 16153"] As to the power of the 500's, that wasnt my concern as much as the handling (the bike wants to stand up in the corners). The 500's are heavier and you will feel the difference in the "flickability." After spending 3 years on my WR500 (and modding it considerably), I was amazed at the difference in handling when I rode a 250 for a few weeks (while replacing the rod in the 500). By the time the 500 was back together, I had already decided to pick up a 250 and keep the 500 (and just have both). Rode the yz for a few months and then took the 500 back out. Ended up having one of the harder wrecks I have had to date (knock on wood) when I was unable to finesse the 500 like I was used to being able to do on the 250. The power is addictive, and I too wouldnt mind having one of the Service Honda's (have ridden 5 of them to date). All said though, my opinion is that the 250 will almost always handle better (for the majority of us). The seat \ tank junction on the pic you have, will be uncomfortable at best. Lastly, the vibration on the larger 2-strokes is noticeable compared to the smaller bikes. [/QUOTE]
