hey i have a 2002 yz 125 and i am going to sell that and buy a 4 stroke either 250 or 450. I was wondering if the 450 would be a big difference power wise from the 125, and how much bigger it actually is? I'm leaning more towards the 450 because i have heard that the 250 is not much different from the 125, is that true?? thanks
250f or 450f
