Exclamation What would you choose?

Hey fellas.

I'm hunting for a 250.

I'm just wondering what you would choose out of these two bikes, they both have their pros and cons.

1. Yamaha WR250. Year 2001. $2300
2. YZ250. Year 1999. Price $2400.

The problem with both of them is that I'm not sure when they are going to need rebuilds and how much it is going to burn a hole in my pocket.


I will be using the bike for track use and jumps, no road use.


thanks.

Sid,

Some advice that you may find useful if your a 1st time of buying a proper bike is 4 stroke will be way easier to maintain and will most likely have less problems if it has been well looked after.

The WR is newer and less money + a WR is road registrable.

I think that choice is a no brainer.

In other words, choose the yz

why would that make you choose the YZ?

Sid is talking about getting his road license eventually and that would mean he could continue to use his current bike.

I guess you like making things hard for yourself then?

Do you mean the yzf or just yz? Deffinately go the YZ if you're not going to be riding on the road.

Im going the WR though because I need to ride on the road aswell.

The WR is geared differently, has a different engine, and wont be near as good as the YZ for jumps and racing.

If you get the WR you'll just end up selling it for the YZ.

No way not everything is about racing...

And having to put up with the buzzing sound of a 2 stroke would drive me mental.

The WR would have way more torque like through the roof compared to the YZ and therefor would be way more fun around trails and roosting dirt.
