Yeah still got the torn ligaments in my knee, who can afford 16 weeks off work these days.
Shame too cos I used to love it.

I had a yz250 and a cr250 both 2 stroke, only down side was rebuilding the engines every 6 months or so, no like the 4 stroke plodders that'll run forever.

yep pros and cons to both, i found that the 4 stroke didnt excite me as much was heavier but was more reliable, 2 stroke jus felt like you was riding a wild bull hold on but needed loving on a more often basis

I've never ridden a 250 2 stroke, can't wait though to get a spin from 1.

Im seriously thinking about buy a rmz 450 this week

good bikes bit of a animal the rmz450 loads of go in them but a bit heavier, i grew up riding 2 strokes so have a soft spot for them plus theyre way easier to kick up in a hurry
