Message: [QUOTE="mx_dad, post: 1262599, member: 84452"] [b]Where are you going to ride?[/b] You didn't mention what type of area you have access to ride in. I'm 5'8", 175, and I have a 02' XR 250R, It's pretty tall, and has alot of power. Plenty power for me to easily come out of a burm lay on the throttle and stand the bike straight up. While the Honda 450's are great bikes.....that's way to much power for getting started on 2 wheelers. With a 2-stroke it depends on how the power band comes in. This is different on every bike. Some bikes are a little low on power at the bottom end, and then the power band kicks in all at once. This is most typical with the YZ's. That makes it harder on technical trails, where you might need to lug, rather than downshift and rev. Personally, while the 2-strokes are fun, I would recommend the 4-stroke. [/QUOTE]
