[QUOTE="sawtoothscream, post: 200897, member: 3716"] Hi, new to the site and currently looking at bikes. in my area there are mostly older 2000 cr 250 and a few yz250's. A few 125's as well.Just trying to get a feel of which I should go after, a 05 yz250 just went up for sale and just had the top and bottom rebuilt and is going for $2900, but might be able to get it down some more. the cr's are around $2500 and are 2000 and 2002 Just trying to figure out if I should go for it. It will be mostly ridden in the woods and open fields, maybe take it to a track once and awhile. My old bike was a xr100, I have rode a yz85 a good amount when I was younger and spent some time on my uncles KTM300 when riding with my cousin. Found all of them to be pretty easy to ride after getting a feel for their power. KTM was a blast to open up and the only big 2 stroke i have experience with. So think a 125 or 250 would be a good choice? Feel like if I get a 125 I will just want a 250 later on and dont really want to sell and buy down the line. I also float around the 200lbs range so probably so probably to big for the 125? any advice would be great. [/QUOTE]
