[QUOTE="truespode, post: 1250407, member: 29329"] I have had a 2001 YZ250F that everyone said the crank was going to explode. I had a 2003 CRF450 that everyone said the valves were going to go bad with. I had a 2003 YZ250F that I bought used and it did lock up but had the engine completely rebuilt by Rich. Now I have a 2005 YZ250F. I have not had to put a lot of money into any bike except the 2003 YZ250F but after Rich put it back together it was perfect. Both my 2001 YZ250F, 2003 CRF450 and 2003 YZ250F are still running strong (from the last time I talked to each of the owners). If you maintain them properly they will last a long time and be great machines. The cost of ownership versus a 250 2-smoke is a bit higher due to the parts being higher but then again it costs less to maintain my 1977 DT100 than any other bike I have owned but which bike do you think I'd rather ride? The cost of ownership on my 4-strokes have not been unreal and with the exception of my last two bikes I did not do the wrenching on my 4-strokes, I paid someone else to do it. Now that I do it myself it is not that bad for a top end cost wise. I might go back to a 2-stroke one day b/c I like the way they handle in the woods but I am so comfortable on a 4-stroke that I am not sure I can ride a 2-stroke as well anymore. Ivan [/QUOTE]
