    Four stroke's aren't really a problem IMO. If yours is that much trouble, you have something dying or malfunctioning. Once I had my 200x set up close to what it was supposed to be, it ran fast and ran well. I would suspect more of a 2 stroke to be unreliable compared to a four stroke.

    What ever you choose, I hope you enjoy it. Be a 250cc 2 stroke or a 350x. They're all good choices :cheers:

    [QUOTE=Rustytinhorn;515975]Id keep at least one of the 185 or 200. Liquid 250r's are nice, and will do moderately o.k. on trails, but in all reality they need a lot of room to open up and be riden, such as the sand dunes or desert riding. Its always nice to take my 200 out for a slow lazy ride and not have to work my butt off to drive the beast. Haha.QUOTE]


    I have to dissagree here, sorry but I ride my 250 Tecate in the tightest of trails. Not easy smooth trails but brutal wet rocky steep trails that make 4x4's work for it. My modded big carbed T3 is way high strung compared the the broad powerband of the R but it still makes for a great trail rider.

    Each type of machine requires different maintence. I rode my 86 tri Z on a 20 years old piston for a year at least. Just make sure you change the oil, and make sure the jetting is on, and mix your gas correctly and wola. Ive beat the hell outa both my R's and thats all ive done.
