I traded in my raptor for a yfz a while ago and now im thinking of trading it in for a cr 125

(dirtbike i know) i know its going to be a little biased seeing as this is and atv forum

so which one is quicker? and has a higher top speed? hp? n e thing would help on making my desicion '

i do a lot of freestyl and racing

 

if youre going to trade for a dirtbike i would recommend a KTM 250SX or a Yamaha YZ125. I'm 230lbs and my 1983 YZ125 still flies. Going from a YFZ to a bike youre going to want something bigger than a 125, and something not honda [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]


as for top speed, i KNOW that my YZ will do 70mph+......your YFZ might be able to out accelerate it because of the torque theyve got...but i doubt it tops out as high. BIkes are good fun though.

 

keep your yfz man. stay into atving.

 

dirtwheels did a shootout between the yamaha yz450f vs. yfz450 and they said they yfz was better, (not a big surprise i no)

 

well im not totally sure if i could handle a 250 those are huge and what do u guyz think is better? like some reasons, cuz i have never even ridden a dirtbike but everyone says there hella fast and fun

and whats faster a 250 or the yfz?

 

dirtbikes are great fun and very fast, but they wont go a lot of places that a good ATV will.

 

angryhampster- where will a quad go that a bike wont??...... Bikes will go all the same places

 

i guarantee id never be able to make it through some of the mudholes ive been through if i were to try it on my bike. not to mention quads are a lot easier to ride in sand, snow, and ice.

 

If you want to go with a 125, check out the KTM125SX ('03 or '04). I have a '03, it's a great bike.

Quads wont go up some heals that are too steep, or too narrow for them, where dirtbikes can. I've seen a few bikes go up some real steep hills. While quads would never attempt them.
