Which would you pick?

[mindfungus]

So been looking at a couple of bikes out there for sale. Found three prospects.
1982 Yamaha YZ250
1985 Suzuki RM250
1986 Honda XR250

All three bikes are in decent shape, and all are the same price. Which would you chose and why? Be specific please as I don't know anything about any of them. (I'm new to dirt.)

thanks guys.

1985 rm250 would be my pick, mid 80's were a good year for the rm's. It will have tons of usable power(low and mid) If I remember the Yamaha's were not so good in the early 80's. The xr250 will be quiet, reliable and slow. It is all going to depend on what your going to do with the bike also. If your just going to tool around slowly on dirt roads and fields get the Honda, if your going to be a bit aggressive and you like going fast get the RM. Back in the day that was a very good reliable bike. Just my .02
