[QUOTE="Wild Hare, post: 182722, member: 24450"] No doubt that both are fine bikes....but I went with the YZ. It's the motor, period. I love everything about Honda's, the look, the Quality.......and for somebody at a skill level that can keep it on the Pipe, its a great bike. I found the motor in the YZ had more "grunt" and better roll on power and for me and that's what I needed. It also helped that Yamaha opened up the cockpit this year, the bike felt much like my '00 CR250! The '02 CR felt cramped, yes I could fix it with some CR125 bar mounts and different bars. I'd also heard some "grumbling" at the track about problems with the '02 CR shifting and airbox sealing. The YZ is really a pretty "mature" design. In the end, my choices were go 4 stroke or YZ. I thought about it for a long time ( I own a KTM 520MXC as well)...but I just love the light weight, handling and instant power of a good 250 two stroke on the track! I'll probably go 4 stroke for the track in a year or two but this bike was to good to pass up! Thanks for all the replies, judging by the "views" there are alot of people trying to make this choice! ;) And I don't think either is a bad choice, you just have to pick what fits you and your abilities..... Now if I was a Guy named Ricky.... :D [/QUOTE]
