I say go with an older 250 two stroke since you can usually find them cheap. Look in your local classifieds and you will find something cheap the is late 80's to early to mid nineties in your price range. Good luck :cool:

Cool.

So you think a 250 is better than a 125? Or just for price purposes? and will a 250 be too much GO when I dont want it?

250's are a bit easier to learn on then 125's. because the 250 has more all around power. you can also lug the 250 around a bit more.

125's power is all top end so its harder to learn on.
