Need Help - New Rider - Need to Decided either 125 or 250.

Hey all,
come from the world of mountain biking of in australia, so any help would be appreciated.

I'm 183cm tall.
14.
72 - 74kgs.

Need help on wether I should get a 125 2-stroke or 250 4-stroke.
Keeping in mind the fact I will most likely be wanting to race.

Cheers, Jordan.

they both have their own pros and cons. But for the weight the 250f doesn't have enough power. I have ridden both and the 125 is more peppy and lighter and easier to handle. I have always had better times on the two strokes. They don't really have any cons.

My 16yrs. old son and I both have 2005 YZ125 and CRF250. I think there is much value riding the 125 for a few years and picking up additional skills prior to jumping to the 250F. He absolutely loves the YZ125 and I don't think he would even consider 250F until he weighs more & needs extra power.

i have the same problem. I'm from belgium and 14 yrs. this year i ridding on a 250 suzuki. I'm 175 cm 67 kg

Don't mess about with a 2 stroke if you are gonna race, you need a 250f! sure it wont feel as poky but your lap times will be way faster.
