Message: [QUOTE="nikki, post: 1019768, member: 18126"] Wow... you brought this post back from 2001!! :ohmy: I switched to a 250F in October 2002. I rode Julius Pleaser's YZ 250F at DirtWeek'02, and then raced my guy's 450 in October '02 (because I shattered a clutch in my YZ125 for like the sixth time), and I was sold on the 4-stroke. I bought one a week later. Been on it ever since! BTW I'm 5'5" 130 lbs., and when I first went from 80's to 125's, it took me a little while to get used to the height of the 125 in turns, but it wasn't too bad. The switch to the 250F was very smooth.... the extra 15 lbs. wasn't very noticeable to me, if anything, I fall less in turns on the 250F than I did on the 125. And starting it is no problem, either. I just love the smooth and predictable and dependable power of the 250F. Plus I'm just too lazy to race a 125 and actually clutch and shift every turn! :) [/QUOTE]
