I ride track way more than I do trails, but every once in a while my dad wants to go on his bike to some trails so i go with im, and a 2 stroke definitly doesn't cut it there. I am thinking while the YZF isnt built like a WR is for trails, it will still be better than my 2stroke in the trails :P Also since it looks like 4 strokes are being more and more common, it looks like I am going for the 450, but there would be no reason to really get the YZ250 is there? I know Kawasaki has already killed their KX line of 2 strokes, so I am just curious.
