32
12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion
As I mentioned, I used to ride a KX125 quite a few years ago. Back then I was pretty small. I don't remember exact height, but weight was no more than 115lbs. I would assume I am ready for a 250 now (make take some time to get used to). Also, what is all the hype around the 4 strokes? My buddy is wanting to trade in/up his 250 for a 450, but I just don't get it.. Just looking for some input.
Thanks,
