Ok so I cant decide i have a yz250f picked out and i have looked at yz125 the 250 is pretty much stock but all the yz have pretty much the "works"... the both want around $1300... I am new to dirt bikes but i have ridden a few of my friends bikes but all 4 strokes and under 125cc. engine work isnt a problem and i can 4 wheel and snowmobile... i am a natural athlete and all my friends race bikes. They all ride 250f's i will build a track and ride but i wont race and i will ride a lot of trails i am 15 and wanna keep it till i go to college. I will learn fast and i want something fun but i dont wanna put alot of time or money into it. and i want it to be realiable and less matience. im 5'11 and 155lbs.:confused:

If someone is selling a 250f for that cheap it's probably rat bagged and ready to blow up...I won't be a cheap fix. You can make that 125 new again for a couple hundred dollars so that would be my choice given your situation. Don't worry about what your friends ride...it's riding ability that matters not how many horsepower you have.

Go for the 125 and put an Athena 144 bbk in it. Full fmf race pipe to. Bought my son one this spring set up that way and it hauls. Rode a stock 250f and wasn't impressed much by it.
