There’s a few Vets that can ride the piss out of a small bore… if OP is one of those guys cool, if not go with 250cc, never have to worry about clearing a jump out of a corner. I’ve had several YZ250’s and they are great bikes, a handful, but rewarding. The Boyesen Rad valve fills in any power gaps.

205lbs and have put 40 moto hours on my 23 Yz 250. Such a phenomenal bike.

If you can get a low hours carb sx150, go for it... even at 250lbs, my 150 would pull 3rd through a lot of corners. Two ring pistons go for a really long time also, much more than 15 hours. Yz250 is another good option, since they are easy to dial and have lots of parts. For a second bike, it needs to be easy, not sure if would go wirh a rfi 125,150 just yet.

Riding a small bore correctly is unbelievably rewarding! you have to do everything correctly to make it work if your heavy like me, but when you do. Big grins and the best noise ever! Not fun for lazy short shifters for sure tho. No offense to lazy short shifters as I am one sometimes on big bikes

I'm vet b and always did pretty well on a yz 250. I've ridden 150 and 350 a few times I feel like a yz is closer feeling to the 350 and a 150 was light and really fun. Just my opinion I'm fairly light 150 pounds so I don't ride 450s at all.

6/24/2024 1:27am Yeah not a bad idea. To be honest though it wouldn't really be the cost that would bother me, more just finding the time to do it.

6/24/2024 12:31am I had a 23 300sx and really didn't gel with it at all so it has kinda put me off the 250sx. I have thought about it but I'd really want to try one before I committed to it.

I would choose the 150. A small bore 2-stroke is the perfect second bike.

6/23/2024 10:38pm That's one of my main concerns with the 150. I'm more than happy to do top ends myself but it might be something I get a bit sick of doing every 15hrs.

6/23/2024 10:16pm I currently have a 23 350sxf and a 24 kx450. The 350 will be getting updated for a 25 model soon and the kx getting sold. The 350 will be my main bike but I'm chasing a new 2nd bike for some fun and to train on. I have decided its between a new 25 model 150sx or a 22+...

6/21/2024 8:31am I just installed a CUO and had my 23 350 updated today so it would work. If I wasn't injured I could give you a ride report tomorrow ha ha. I was happy to spend a few hundred dollars on the CUO unit but I personally wouldn't spend the money on a vortex. I have an akro slip-on with insert...

6/20/2024 5:44pm I have a 23 350sxf and although I will upgrade to a 25 eventually I see no need to rush. I personally don't feel the rigidness everyone talks about. My 350 feels nicer in hardpack choppy tracks than my 24 kx450. I have kyb forks/factory edition clamps/akro slip on and heavier spring on rear with stock valving on 350 and...

6/20/2024 5:00pm I hear ya on buying alot of unnecessary crap, I just call it an expensive learning curve ha ha. I have had a few 350's over the years aswell and always struggled a bit with a vague front end feel, even with ohlins, dal soggio and kyb suspension, I think it was just a ktm thing. I feel with the...

6/20/2024 3:34am I can hands down say the 24 kx450 is the best 450 I've ever owned or ridden but for me still took more to get setup than my 350. Yes my 350 has kyb forks but besides that is stock and I ride multiple tracks without touching a single click. I also don't feel you need to ride the 23+...

6/19/2024 4:21pm I find I stuff up corners alot less on the 350 than the 450 which is probably why I go faster on 350 🤣
