yz125 or yz250

[dirtbikerider123]

Ive owned a ton of bikes in my life. 125's, 144's, 220's, 250's, 450's, 500's, ect. of all kinds. It wasnt until recently, I realized that ive never had the pleasure of owning a YZ. Now heres the thing, ive rode nothing but 125's for a good 5 years 5 times a week when I was racing. I got to where I let off at about two spots on the track so I didnt overshoot a jump and the rest of the time I hold the bike pinned no matter what. What im wondering is if I should go with a yz125 or a yz250. Sure a 125 is tons of fun, but im not sure if its too small. Obviously im not doing all I can to go as fast as possible because im not in the AMA yet, but I dont want to buy a bike that is going to be too small for me. What do you all think?

I'm 245 lbs. and I love my '06 YZ125. Only added the 250 to have lights for a 24 hour race. The new YZ125's are very impressive, especially after you get the jetting right.

Eric Gorr can make it even better.

got an 08 yz250 to test it out, super snappy and tons of fun. it throws the nicest whips, it is so light. this bike would be perfect for fmx, i do see what people are saying about the cramped riding position, but i kinda like it. i think im going to go for an 09.

i got a 02yz125 that i love... it actually impressed me when i first took it out for a spin.... rejeted it and cleaned the carb repacked the silencer and it was even better... try em both out and which ever you like better get.. i havent rode the yz250 but i hear its very nice...

i couldnt decide between the two, they were both fun, but i just ended up buying both. my wife couldnt say anything because i told her i bought the 125 for her :)
like she will ever ride it.
