Nice! I just took my YZ out for a final ride about 3 weeks ago before selling it since we're possibly moving in the next couple of months. The 4-stroke is newer and I probably rip better laps on it, but I miss the YZ already If nothing else, I miss having the security of a backup bike since the YZ is so easy to work on. Even the forks on my kx250f are a pain to work on

Anyway, when I took out the '99 YZ250 for the last ride, I forgot how much it wants to take off! I feel like I am starting to ring out the 4-stroke to keep it moving, but that YZ will just happily pull you along for the ride. I love it

Actually, for family reasons the wife and I are looking towards AZ. Not to hijack the thread too much, but [USER=3959]@Trfsrfr[/USER] does anywhere around Chandler/Gilbert have good places to ride (I ride mostly track, but riding is riding lol)? I'm sure better than Illinois (read: if I drive 3 hours round trip to get to the track 2x/week. but now it is starting to get cold and riding season is ending ).

If we make it out there, I may end up with another YZ

[QUOTE="RageD, post: 216538, member: 4512"] Nice! I just took my YZ out for a final ride about 3 weeks ago before selling it since we're possibly moving in the next couple of months. The 4-stroke is newer and I probably rip better laps on it, but I miss the YZ already :( If nothing else, I miss having the security of a backup bike since the YZ is so easy to work on. Even the forks on my kx250f are a pain to work on :bonk: Anyway, when I took out the '99 YZ250 for the last ride, I forgot how much it wants to take off! I feel like I am starting to ring out the 4-stroke to keep it moving, but that YZ will just happily pull you along for the ride. I love it :) Actually, for family reasons the wife and I are looking towards AZ. Not to hijack the thread too much, but [USER=3959]@Trfsrfr[/USER] does anywhere around Chandler/Gilbert have good places to ride (I ride mostly track, but riding is riding lol)?

If we make it out there, I may end up with another YZ :rocker: -RageD [/QUOTE]
