I’m thinking about doing a semi build on a 2 stroke, at 63 I ain’t getting any younger.
My last two stroke other than my Bass boasts was a 84 YZ250.
I know some years have steel frames, they went to Aluminum frame frames at some point. I’d like to have as new as possible but I have a 2014 YZ250F I have a ton of money in along with a 2019 CR250F I bought mid last year. Will start looking on Craigslist etc for a screaming deal.
I’d like to do heavy flywheel and use for puttin around the track and woods and anything else kind of all around. Kinda like KTM300 ish.
Coach me up on what year etc. I could buy a new one but just doesn’t make sense no more than I get to ride. But I do like to work on them and piddle around in my garage.

02 new plastic, smaller kick start shaft.
05 first year of aluminum frame.
06 first year of SSS forks. From 06 onward there were only really minor changes.
14 new airbox and tiny rear number plates.
Frankly, for woods use darn near anything from 99+ will work fine. in particular 02-04 steel frames will have wonderful flex, and the older style forks can be made to work great for offroad situations. Get the head modified to optimize squish, slap a heavier flywheel on there and go have some fun.

Thanks for comments. Like I said I’m not that well informed but would like to get a tow stroke to collect dust and keep my YZ250F company. Just the sound and smell of a 2stroke would bring back a lot of memories.
