[Joeschmo]

im looking into one but im 5'8 im not sure if im to small im 15 aswell so i will groo it thats what i was wanting but not sure?

 

[FruDaddy]

NO, but it'll keep you on your toes. :debil:

 

[lilbikerdude]

im 5'8 also abd im 14 and my yz250f is just fine for me, but i wouldnt recommend getting a two-stroke 250, go with a 4-stroke 250, lots of power and good gas milage

 

[Ruff Rider]

good gas milage

seriously :coocoo: If youre worried about saving a few cents, then i think your in the wrong sport

 

[FruDaddy]

Gas mileage is an important thing to consider. Every cent you save there can be put toward your next top end rebuild or valve job.

 

[Ruff Rider]

Yeah ok - i could see how SOMEONE would save enough but should that be a factor in deciding the largest purchase you'll make (thats dirtbike related)

if thats the best reason for choosing a fourstroke :blah:

To be sure, are you talking about the 2stroke 250 or the 250F? If you are indeed inquiring about the 250 2stroke, then I'd answer your question: Yes, you are too small for it in my opinion.

i get around 30mpg in my 04 250sx under race conditions. and it's only about twice as fast and much lighter than a 4-stroke 250. oh, it's also cheaper, simpler, more reliable, easier to work on, prettier, sexier, more fun, quieter..... did i forget anything?

 

[FruDaddy]

Come on now, that big head on a thumper looks sweet :worship: . Very technological. And the skinny pipe that doesn't hide the motor :nod: . Whoa. Let me catch my breath. Actually, my only argument would be the "much lighter" part :think: . The actual weight difference for '06 is only 8 pounds. It's just that the smoker has a lower center of gravity and feels lighter (better weight distribution :cool: ).

I don't know what your skill level is, but you might want to consider looking for a 200sx. It will be easier to ride and has a better horsepower to weight ratio.

many of us find the 200 to be a harder bike to ride. at least in the exc version, the 200 engine is much zippier and more explosive than the 250, with less torque down low. it's still a heckuva lotta fun tho.

2 stroke 250's rule, and make more power then a 250 fourstroke anyday!worried bout gas mileage :think: , well maintaining the fourstroke costs more!
