YFZ 450 vs 250r
hya, erm i have heard alot about 250r's and i noticed that in the huevos films they go from using a 250r to a yfz450........why is this because i though a 250r was better or it it just faster acceleration???and not the handling? thanks

YFZ is the closest thing to a 250R in terms of handling. and it happens to have more power and accleration. its was a natural progression. it was also released before the 450R. The 450R is a good bike, and as I have said many times i do like mine- it has strong smooth power, good front shocks, is reliable, but while good on its own, it has a high center of gravity, it lacks the 250R's excellent handling manners and better balance.

I got spanked by an old 250R on a 1/2 mile oval not long ago. The 2 strokes still dominate when it comes to flat out wide open running. When tight corners and hills come into play the four strokes eat the 2 strokes for lunch. Im sure one reason the top riders all went over to 4 stroke was because the 4 strokes pull through the whole rpm range and 2 strokes have a limited range where they really hit like hell. Not to mention it costs about half as much to build a true competitive 4 stroke as aposed to building a 250R from the ground up. 5 years ago you would have to spend about $15k - $20k on a machine to be competitive , now you could probably spend $10k and have a better more reliable quad.
