[QUOTE="jb_dallas, post: 1403366, member: 103004"] Personally, I would not buy a YZ250F for trail riding. The YZ is a motocross bike, made for a motocross track. Aside from the small annoying things, like no kickstand, no light, a small gas tank which limits your range, you have the big issue...gearing. The YZ will be too tall in first (which can cause overheating chugging around) and the rest of the gears will be too closely spaced to be an ideal trail bike. I know because I owned a YZ400F that I tried to "trailize"...I could never get past the gearing, so I sold it and bought a WR426 and Im much happier with it. WR = Wide Range. With that being said, I know a guy that rides a KTM 250 SX (supercross) bike on the trail, but he is also a B class rider that has the skill to compensate for the gearing, not a beginner. [/QUOTE]
