Need something for trails and MX

I had a 97 YZ125 growing up. Its been a few years since I've been riding. Now that I'm ready to get a bike again, I'm wondering what would be best for overall riding. I plan riding pretty much everything from mx tracks to trails. Im set on stepping it up to 250, and I loved the 2stroke, so is the YZ250 the obvious choice?

Probably so . . .

A KTM XC might also do the job. Look at a 200 or 250.

That comment should be good for a few replies! Where is Masterphil anyway?

As for the bike choice, why are you thinking about doubling up on the power after a few years off? Have you ridden one of the 250 four-strokes? They're about 10% more power that the 125 and, imo, more fun for the trail riding you want to do. What's your age, height and weight? That too could help make a decision.

Dude thats some irony,I would think if BOTH bikes blew up the same day same jump,the bro's need to learn how to ride.(my guess)
