Hi there, folks... I'm looking into buying a new bike and have been out of the loop for a couple of years now, as well as having not renewed any of my magazine subscriptions! With that said, I'm just looking around to see what bikes people are liking now-a-days... So I figured I'd register here! I've owned quite a few, but my definite favorite has been my Gas Gas 250. I'm looking for something new along those lines, but perhaps just a little more supercross oriented. I stopped riding because I seized the gas gas and when I got it fixed, got some sort of carb/fuel flow problem that I couldn't figure out for the life of me (changed the float levels and did all types of stupid stuff and just couldn't get it to run properly) but around that time I was looking at maybe a yz250f or something like that. Any suggestions?

p.s. Sorry for rambling, haha... Just excited to be back, I suppose!

Do you still have the GasGas or do you need to get a need bike? You can't go wrong with a YZ250F.

captain- I still have the Gas Gas, but it's still a bit under the weather :( Would need to put a lot of TLC into it to bring it back it it's prior 'vigor', if you will. That's why I was thinking about selling it to somebody with the time to do it and going for a new bike. I like the idea of having something that's a little bit more accessible as far as parts and dealerships, but I want something with the potential of the gas gas.

Tony- Thanks for the nice response! I updated my profile so as to be a bit more informative, but I'll go ahead and tell you a bit more about myself anyway. I'm from NW Jersey/E. Stroudsburg PA area. My father got me started on riding when I was about 4 and it's been my #1 love ever since- although for the last few years I've had to step away a bit. Aside from the riding side of me, I work for an investment firm called 'The Magnet Investment Group'. We put out a monthly newsletter through Forbes, run several hedge/mutual funds, do a lot of media (fox, abc, conferences, etc.), as well as managing money for individuals. If any of you are into investing, let's talk!

Anyhow, I suppose that's it for now... I'm sure you'll see me loungin' around these parts.

you have got a few of us here from North Jersey. It doesnt sound like you are interested in another gasgas, but a friend of mine has an 01 gasgas 300 for sale. Its been sitting for about 3 years and he's looking to sell it. I know its not a motocross bike, but thought I would mention it.
Welcome aboard, and hopefully we will see you on the trails soon.
