[QUOTE="250girl, post: 1361056, member: 82818"] I would like to settle this once and for all. I've had all of my friends who ride 250 2-strokes, 450f's, 250's 300's, all sorts of different bikes, say that my 2000 rm250 is truly insane. Some of them won't even ride it. When I bought it, the previous owner actually had a solenoid disconnected to make it more predictable and not hit as hard. I switched bikes with my friend the other day. He rides a 99 yz250, fmf pipe and some other goodies on it. I thought the two bikes should be almsot the same, seeing as they are only one year apart, similar mods..... but what an incredible difference! The YZ has smooth power, really good bottom end, just lots of snappy power everywhere. In comparison, my RM is unpredictable, seems to lack power (in comparison to the YZ) on the bottom, hits like a freight train, and just screams on top. Seems to have more top end than the YZ. My bike is fun on a track, EVIL on the trail. Now, is this difference in the way the bikes are set up, or an actual difference in the bikes themselves? I've had a few people tell me that a YZ is a better trail bike than an RM. But aren't the "big four's" 250 2-stroke mx bikes pretty much the same (in a roundabout way)? I know I can put a fww and different reeds and stuff in my bike to make it more handleable. But why, when my bike is so similar in year and mods to the YZ is there such a huge difference? [/QUOTE]
