okay so I have an 08 yz85 now, and i love it.. but im looking for something a little bigger. I race motocross and ride trails, so the mixed gas thing is a pain on long rides.. what do you guys think of the yz250F?

do you have one or does one of your friends have one? hows the maintenance on it?
its a great bike but if its stock its not so great....i think that its the best adaptable bike to mods...
The yz250f is a nice bike, but i prefer the 2 stroke yz 250's. Loads of power, bout 47hp to the wheel stock. Pipe, filter and reeds and your hitting mid 50's.
An 80 to a 250 is a BIG jump. Totally different animals. While it can be costly to take stepping stones, you may be better off looking for a used 125ish size bike to use as a mid bike. Even if you still plan to end up with the 250, you will be better off imo taking an in between bike.
I had a CR250 and a KX 250, both had gobs of power. I wound up selling them both because I had no where or time to ride them.

125 and 250f are in the same class, SAME SIZE!!!!
250f is the next step up from 85, dude!!!
but anyways, a yz250f is a great bike, or a crf250r is good too
125s are just cheaper thats why i have one
but mine will beat most 250fs
yeah because i was gonna say if they're totally different why do they race in the same class? i understand a 2 stroke is lighter but my cousin has a yz125 and my friend has a 250f and they're side by side until top end.. hell even my 85 is almost side by side with the 250f until top speed.
btw, im not a noob.. i've ridden bikes/ quads alllll my life. and ride my friends 250f and cousins 125 a LOT. just looking for more advice, other than the opinion from 2 people. I:I

i would say that if your gunna buy a 250 go with a 2 stroke...cuz its less of a headache and its faster then the 250f...but watever you do your gunna get a bangin bike...i think imma trade my banshee into the dealer fer a 07 yz450f
my friend has a kx80 and a yz250f.. the kx 80 has a port and polish job..thats it..and we keep up with the 250..well i aint riding no more..2 broke knees =[
i would go for a 125 there nice and light, have plenty of power and rebuilding a 2 stroke isn't anywhere near as bad as rebuilding a 4 stroke. Also i know several people who have had 250 4 pokes and they say that the blow up quite a lot lol
