Message: [QUOTE="Lorin, post: 1424395, member: 16153"] I rode and competed in enduros on a big bore yamaha WR500. The pro's were that you could ride one gear most of the time, could chug up any hill. cons are that it is heavier and harder to change directions. I spent 3-4 years on that bike before moving to the "slower" 250 2-strokes. My current yz has created more scary moments in the woods than the big bore ever did. And my speed increased 15-20% when I moved to the more nimble, and lighter 250. The big bike was fun, the 250 is fun as well and I am faster on it. Your mileage may vary, but I wonder how much faster I might be had I spent those years on a 250 instead. [/QUOTE]
