Oh, one last thing I forgot to mention. I was leaning toward the two strokes for ease of maintenance. Are the new fours a pain to work on compared to the twos? Thanks again!

I think you've got them mixed up there..?
Usually 2-strokes are considered a pain the arse to maintinance, while 4-strokes are basically maintinance free. However, once you really get used to 2-strokes and understand how they work and everything, they are incredibly easy to maintain and repair. As a personal preference, not only do I enjoy riding, but I also enjoy working with 2-strokes over 4-strokes, but thats me.
But I will warn you, these new 4-stroke MX bikes are just as much maintinance as you will be finding with 2-stroke MXers. They are nothing like 4-stroke XRs where all that needs to be done is fill up the gas and change the oil.

I was leaning toward either a YZ or CR250 (00-02), but then I've stared to hear all this stuff about the big bad new thumpers, so I'm thinking of maybe a YZF426, CRF450, or a KTM400. My last bike was a '93 CR125, and I've had few 125's, a YZ80, and a KDX200. I used to race MX, novice. But this bike will be mostly for fast trail riding, maybe some Enduro or Cross Country racing here and there, and maybe a little MX track time.

So what do you all think? I want power, but I also like a somewhat light flickable bike. Oh, and most importantly, one of my old riding buddies who also just got back into riding just got a '00 KX250, and I need to be able hang with him. Thanks!
