hey,
i just have a quick question i was wondering how a yz 125 will hold up in the dunes cause im gettin a dirtbike but im not sure if a 125 will have enough guts. also a 250 would prolly be a little too much but im 5'8 150lbs would a 125 be enough for me at the dunes? thanks for the help.

later,
jake

in the dunes its always better to have more power as it does place a great load on the engine

hey thanks man i was just wonderin cause my dad wont let me get a 250 2 stroke he says ill kill myself caue of the way i ride

actually a 250 would be safer for you. in the dunes on the 125 you would have to be riding closer to the limits of the bike everytime you ride. On a 250 you have enough power not to have to ride too crazy to get around

hey thanks man ill talk to my dad bout it and thanks for the help

hey i am getting a kx 250 and i am like 5,8 and like 140 i should be able to handel it right??
also any one know how fast it would go?
i also heard that on a 250 you can cat walk in any gear is this true??

k thanks

i cant really speak about you being able to handle the bike. As I am over 200 and can manhandle the 250. maybe a smaller guy will chime in

All depends on you and your skill level. Size and weight do not play that huge of a factor if you let the bike do the work and don't try to manhandle it everywhere.

maybe a 4stroke 250 would be a better choice, considering better power and more control then a 250 s stroker?

no 250F's suck in the dunes its just like riding a 125, definetly 250 at least if your gonna be doing alot of that kind of riding.
