Thanks for the reply Dave.  It was my understanding that you can basically multiply a two stroke displacement by 2 in order to get the 4 stroke equivalent. So, a 250 2 stroke is like a 500 4 stroke and a 125 2 stroke is like a 250 4 stroke. Is that not true? I assumed that it isn't an exact, but a general rule.

I ask because you say a 250 2 or 4 stroke will be good, but I would  assume from the rule above that the 250 2 would have a lot more power...maybe this is why you say it would be more fun  :)

I forgot to mention that my son really wants to be able to jump his bike.  He keeps jumping the 50 and I keep telling him that he is going to break it and his head at the same time.  :yikes:   I've been told that the trail bikes are no good for jumping and that he will need a motocross bike if he wants to do that. I would also like to be able to jump at least a little bit.

I'm also surprised that the 250 2 is less maintenance than the 4. I specifically asked the dealer about this and he said that 2 strokes are WAY more maintenance.  Any thoughts on that?
