yz426f from 250f

[bofforider]

I currently ride a YZ250F but have a chance at a good deal on a YZ426F. I am wondering how easy (or hard) it will be to get used to the increased weight? I am 5'8" & 185 lbs. Has anyone else made a move in this direction? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanking you in advance,
Bofforider

It's not the weight so much as you'll have to hold on a LOT tighter!!:D

Ditto!

And get a gripper seat for extra traction!

I have one of each and it depends on what you want it to do. The 426 has more grunt. The 250 is quicker turning and nimble. In the tight woods I ride the 250's nimblness is a thrill. When the course opens up a bit the big bike's power is addictive. Dave
