[QUOTE="drk98, post: 708473, member: 29318"] Power and speed isn't everything. The KDX or an XR are comparable power wise and are tamer than a MXer. Both can kick butt when moded too. Another good pick is a KTM EXC. There's not much reason in getting a 250 MXer if you are trail riding especially a YZ or CR. They are top end kings. The KX and RM are low to mid range hitters. A WR is simular to a YZF but is ported for trail power. Forget the TTR its a wimpy play bike and don't even bring up the XT. You have to know about the bike to make a choice and the best thing you can do is ride a few of them. See if you like 2 stroke or four stroke. A KDX or EXC is as good as a beginner as any 4 stroke. A 250 MXer isn't a screw around bike; its a rip your arms off bike. Oh yeah, a YZ250 has more power than a XR400. A YZ250 MIGHT go faster than a XR400 but you might wet yourself before you see it. A bike can be moded and it depends if the bike is uncorked. My guess for the top speed for the 250 is upper 70's to lower 80's. A XR can top that considering its an common DSer(and my dads DR350 goes 90). A KDX just does 70. I don't think you'll be worrying about going 80mph. I'm 13 and the KDX is plenty for me. [/QUOTE]
