YFZ on the trails
They are a great trail bike in my opinion but i do ride as hard as i possibly can all the time. I would agree that if you just want to "cruse" they are not a good choice because like you said they have 2 stroke tendecies or likes to be ridden in the higher revs. It depends 100% on your riding style

Well I don't really want one just for trail riding. I want it for mx, trail riding, ditches, and some gravel pits. I have a 250r set up for mx right now and although it is a blast on the track, it really sucks on any tight trails because of the low clearance, no torque, and engine wanting to be wound tight all the time. If I got a yfz I would probably just leave the stock shocks, a arms, axle, tire size etc. But I would probably add a pipe, jet it, air filter, lid, cam mod etc.

OMG.. How do you manage with that bike on the trails guys??? I really cant take it, its an eternal wedgie, sits weird for me, and small. I wasnt too impressed with it on the trails. Itll feel like your 250R a lot, youll be on the clutch a lot, and has a two stroke some what powerband.

I like the YFZ for the trails but not for a lazy trail ride. If you are an aggressive rider and put on a 13 tooth sprocket and back off the preload and compression on the shocks it's a pretty amazing ride. The seat softens up a bit after awhile. You can always add more foam to the seat if it's too hard. Otherwise, get a Vforce for trail riding. If you want something more aggresive then the YFZ is awesome. The Z400 would bet in between somewhere!
