Okay, I am thinking about getting an '05 YZ250 but I am wondering if it is too much bike for me. I bought my first bike in '02 which was, and still is, an '02 YZ250F. I was 25 years old then and really just started riding. I ride mostly motocross on a sand track and also on my own track (easy track) that is hard pack. I do some racing but in either the "C" class 125 or now the +30 and I can ride but I am definetly not a fast guy or anything close to it. I weigh 209 now but working ont he weight. I am getting the itch to get this new bike and see what the 2 strokes are all about and the aluminum frame makes me want it even more. Questions is, How crazy am I? You guys all ride 2 strokes and know much more about the power of the 250 than me, so what do you think? I think that riding mostly in the sand and my weight, a YZ125 might be a little light for me. I realize that I don't have to twist the throttle all the way but is the bike going to be just to much of a beast for me?
The most that I jump now would be about 45-50 feet but I am also itching to hit a 90 foot table top that we have at the track.
Just looking for a little advise but you better hurry because I just might scratch this itch to get the bike in the next couple days.
By the way, I was going to keep the 250F for now becasue I just love the bike and I thought I would get the 250 out to parctice on and get use to.
