im 17, 5'9, 180#s w/o gear, and race 125 intermediate.. i have a 01 RM125 now.. i like a hard hit and smooth delivery, but do not like to short shift.. i rode an 01YZ250 on saturday and loved the powerband, it hit low and revved high with no flux inbetween.. i ride aggresive and love to use the clutch, but am looking for something that is easy to control.. if it's anything like the 01YZ250 motor, i don't need to ask any more questions and will be on my way to my suzuki dealer as soon as i can..
i've been told the 03 motor falls flat up top, which dissapoints me.. i definately need a motor that revs - supposedly the 04 RM does, but im curious if it's mag review bias?
i do not want to have a poorly running machine, or have to buy race gas to make it run good.. i need something that will be reliable and will run crisp from dusk till dawn, summer to winter..
i've narrowed it down to the 04RM250 and 03YZ250, if you own or have ridden either of these bikes, list the pros/cons of each iyo..
thanks
dan
PS - i will be racing weekly and hitting ramps/freeriding during the week..
