yamaha 125 2 stroke or 250 4 stroke, which is better?

Question

4 stroke or 2 stroke yamaha which is better

Answer 1

I love 2-strokes. BUT, the new 250 4-strokes are really easy to ride compared to a 125 2-stroke.



The only 125 2-stroke I ever owned that was easy to ride and race was a Kawasaki KD 125. That was Kawasaki's play bike back in the day. I couldn't afford a KX, so I picked up a used KD. The bike had low end and midrange grunt, but no top end to speak of.



A 125 2-stroke race bike has to be kept in the power band at all times, they are screamers or peaky. The 250 4-stroke can be lugged around or screamed. It's the best of both worlds really.



It takes far less skill to ride a new 4-stroke fast than a 2-stroke.



If you are trail riding, play racing or even doing some racing once in a while, I would go with the 4-stroke. If you are not trail riding, play racing and racing every weekend, go with a 250 2-stroke.....oh...I mean 125 2-stroke (wink*)

Answer 2

i love 2-strokes, but if the 4 stroke is newer than 04 or so its a better bike

Answer 3

If you can handle it and ride track, 250 4-stroke.



If you're looking for a trail bike, I'd go with the 125.

Answer 4

4:stroke

Answer 5

The 4-stroke would be my pick hands down; it is easier to ride with a wider range of revs to work with and a lot more forgiving when you make a mistake.

Answer 6

Well alot would depend on yourself. wether ur racing, or just off road and what ur looking for in a bike.

Answer 7

125's are cheap to maintain and are just great, proven machines.



250f's are modern, expensive, complicated, fast, heavy, and if you blow it.. god bless you
