over 2k is too much for me, im looking for a four stroke im still a beginner and dont want anything too big, dont forget im going from a honda xr100 theres a huge differance even a 90 2 stroke is faster than the one i have.plus i need too see how much i can get for mine.i want sometion like a 125 2stroke but the 250 4stroke will last alot longer and be about the same power.

The 4-strokes being built now are awesome.

Potentially lower maintenance than the 2-strokes... but the 2-strokes are not too bad either.

I have a 2000 YZ80 that is wicked fast!
It is a blast!

I would entertain selling it also if you were interested.

i like 4 strokes the maintence is nothing compared to a 2 stroke just the 4 stroke is 1/2 the speed as a 2 so if i got the 225 it should be a little slower than a 125. i dont really need anything really fast i already hurt myself pretty bad on the dam 100 but thats mainly because it didnt have enough acceleration to get me out of the sand.but right now i dont know i want too see whats out there and if i find sometion i can afford ill be all over it.
