[QUOTE="upnorthbacon, post: 1351238, member: 58629"] I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on a showroom new 01 yz250 tomorrow but I have one concern. Last couple bikes I had were an 01 yz426 and 05 wr250f. I was happy with both bikes but always missed two strokes. I've been out of the scene a few years with kids and all but now my daughter and wife are riding with me (I currently have a Polaris Rzr which as a mostly two wheel rider I must admit is an absolute blast!!!) and I'm thinking of picking up a bike rather than ride as a passenger with my wife in the Rzr half the time. The catch is we will be riding with our daughter so speeds of 25-40mph are about all I'm comfortable riding with her right now. I'm obviously going to be riding slower and I don't want to be throwing roost at them all the time. I'm concerned about it loading up or overheating riding around at those speeds while just "cruising" and not ripping through the gears? Is this a valid concern? I have another line on a mint 04 yz250f that I was considering too, and I'm second guessing if that would be better for trails with the family. The kicker is I kind of want the best of both worlds because I still plan on riding with some buds on 250's and 450's but it will mostly be single tracks and trails, not much of anything super open or sand. Will I be changing plugs all the time and should I go for the 250f or will I be fine for the most part? [/QUOTE]
