[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1274367, member: 68872"] I have a YZ-125 and a WR-250 (very similar to the YZ-250 but with a wide ratio transmission). When I get into the rough the YZ-125 is just as fast as the 250. I may have to shift three times as much as I would on the WR-250 to keep it in the power band but it can definately push me along at speeds greater than I want to go. When it comes to climbing hills the WR-250 has a small advantage. Again, I have to shift more on the 125 and I MUST keep the RPM up. On the 250 I can stop on the hill and get going again, on the 125 if I don't make it up I ride back down and try again. The one spot where the 125 is slow is when we hit the wide smooth roads. I simply get to the end of 6th gear and watch the guys on the 250 pull away. Don't worry, I will only be a minute behind and will catch them as soon as they reach the rough stuff again. You really shouldn't be buying a bike based on how fast it can go. Believe me, a 125 has more than enough power to get you into trouble. Rod [/QUOTE]
