Thinking of a YZ250 for woods

Hey all,

Just curious if anybody rides/races woods on a YZ250.

I've got a KTM 300 now, and I like it. But lately I've just been in the mood for something different. I don't wanna go 4-stroke, either.

So a YZ250 is looking pretty tempting.

Opinions??

Go for it. My YZ 250 leaves little to complain about for either woods or recreational MX.

IMO, the powerband is fairly even (for a 2-t), and with a 13 tooth front sprocket (stock is 14), I don't have to clutch that much in even the tightest singletrack. I have recently put an FMF Gnarly pipe on it, and it really helps out the low end (though it wasn't that bad with the stock pipe).

There are a lot of companies that make accessories for the YZ that makes it even better for woods....large gas tanks, bark busters etc...
