Hey, should I keep my 2005 YZ250 and my 2000 CR250. Or should I sell both of them bikes and buy a brand new 2008 YZ250f. I have never ridden a 4-stroke before but I hear you don't have to work as hard to clear them big tripples.

MAN, I HAVE A 2005 RM 250 2 STROKE AND I KNOW THAT YOURS AND MINE ARE VERY CLOSE IN POWER WHEN IT COMES TO THIS YEAR AND MODEL. I AM ALSO A REALLY HARDCORE 2-STROKE FAN SO I SAY STICK WITH WHAT YOU GOT AS LONG AS YOU CAN. TOP ENDS ARE ALOT EASIER, CHEAPER, AND NOT TO MENTION, THE SMELL OF THE GAS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WILL MISS. I ALMOST DID WHEN I GOT MY 250F YAMAHA. I NEVER RIDE IT ANYMORE. ALL 2-STROKE FROM HERE ON OUT AS LONG AS THEY MAKE THEM. AND THATS GOING AWAY SOON PROBABLY TOO. MIGHT AS WELL RIDE IT WHILE YOU GOT IT I THINK. JUST MY OPINION THOUGH.

Ya keep the YZ250. Now in the amatuer ranks. The AMA sanctioned events the 250 two stroke can ride in the lites class. James Stewart lil brother won Lake Whitney Lites Intermediate class on his KX250. Ya the 4 stroke gets better traction. But the 2 stroke is still lighter and fun as hell to ride.
They are still competitive on the amatuer level, and you dont wanna start messing with that 4 stroke timing and valve issues. Its not much fun.

2002. its a great bike and yea, it goes everywhere a 250 can with better traction. but i dont have even half as much fun as screaming the hell outta my rm 250. i love the sound of it even more so now becase almost everyone has a four stroke. 2-strokes are just so much more enjoyable and to beat guys that spent the extra grand or whatever for there 4-strokes, its just great to beat them on a 2-stroke because they think that because there bike is just that little bit more torquey that they are better then you cause you are on a 2-stroke. i love whooping them and asking them,"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO RACE AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN KEEP UP?". you get alot more pride in yourself, i think. just my opinion though.

keep the 250 because of the new ameteur rules where 250 2 strokes can race against 250 f's. cheaper to maintain too

yea it is a stupid idea... but i bet the ppl with 250 2 strokes dont think it is cuz theres a prety big advantage. especially wen theres ppl like me on 125s competing against em lol.
