Ive had lots of inquiries about the rm and a couple of people are coming to view it this weekend. If it sells I'l have around 4-4 and half k to spend on a bike
Are yz250's any good? How reliable are they. Looking at 01-03 models.

He's talking about YZ's Adam, not the diesel pigs! :girlfight:
Yeah YZ's are awesome bikes Lion, and the YZ250 is probably the pick of the 01-03 two stroke MX models. :yeah:

CR250! Their build quality is good. And I do all my own engine work and have on Yamaha, Cagiva and Kawasaki engines when I was karting.
Only thing I found is when I bought my 01 CR250, is that Hondas are a little more expensive than the opposition. But you get that back on resale. I'm really happy with the 01 it pulls like a 14 year old school boy from any revs, even near stall. Goes like stink even with the fly wheel weight. Good bikes! and I've always been a kwaka man! I had to buy 3 bikes and kit. So went for the Honda because they where the only ones with the alloy frame in that year and my price range
Hope this helps Lion.

Yeah no mention of orange, all the jap bikes are pretty good now IMHO the only problem with the Yammy's is they tend to look like crap pretty quickly because of the stress marks the plastics get.

YZ250 great bike like most modern 250 2t, just make sure you treat it to a new set of rings at least when you buy it just to make shure the top end is in good nick and not slapin around in there....(applies for any make!) mate bought a KTM250SX last year and it started to develop bit of a nock which i suspected to be a big end but the guy who had it before claimed to have rebult the motor and he didnt have the $100 or so in gaskets to check what it was and every one else done the old she'll be right then bang goes the engine, now its guna cost him $1000 instead of $300-500:pinch:

ill let u know next time im going riding and where, feel free to come and have a bit of a blat on my CR, the only way you can decide which bike you want is by riding them all and choosing yourself, all the bikes feel different to eachother, and it mostly comes down to personal preference, however i rate hondas.

I had a 03 YZ250. Only sold it to buy my Motard WR450. I loved that bike so much! Super reliable and crazy fast (like all modern 250Ts)
If I was in the market again to buy another 250 mxer I'd go for the YZ over any other bike.

Any modern 2 smoker is good. Jeremys (GR81) one could be a good one for you.
