[QUOTE="Anssi, post: 165425, member: 23342"] I would opt for the safe choice, the YZ426F (whatever year, they haven't changed [B]that[/B] much). I think that at 5'8" he may just fit on it. At my 6'4", 200 lbs. and two years experience I will go from my -00 YZ250 to a -02 KTM 520 SX since they are the same price as a YZ426F around here and have the good parts and ergos for big guys stock from the factory (the jap bikes have handlebars that will be bent in the first good crash and the YZ needs a new top T-clamp to reposition the handlebar and the ergos are very cramped for bigger riders). I wouldn't bother with the YZ250F. It's a bloody screamer of an engine and since I find even the 426 a bit gutless, not something I would want to even try. The YZ's have awesome suspension, tho', and of course any competent rider on a YZ250F would kick my arse to Lapland on one of those, but I wouldn't be having fun on one. [/QUOTE]
