if you want more power, get the RMZ. i would personally get the RMZ, they are good bikes. the problem is, the RMZ is a 4 stroke which costs more to have maintenence on and sometimes they have more problems than 2 stokes. you said you dont like working on your engine, and on pretty much all 4 strokes, they have valves that you occasionaly have to check.

Thats what I will most likely go with, but i like the KX 250 f as well im not sure if they have it though. But thanks for the advice I will most likely end up going with the Rmz 250.

Yz 125, I have one, they're good, fast, cheap (compared to RMZ 250) and they're a great bike. Have alot of acceleration,you'll need clutch and throttle control.

Yamahahahahahah!
Laugh all the way home.

They are so much fun
