YZ125 or YZ250??
YZ250 for sure
@@thanatos5329 that’s how I feel
What’s better for a beginner? I can drive manual cars but never drove a manual bike
@@brianturner9618 well the 250 is very powerful but it has very good low end torque so if you keep it slow while you learn I think it’ll be better. The yz125 has no low end so you have to be in the power band to have any power which is hard to control for a beginner.. I found that out the hard way
Seriously appreciate the way you explained it dude made me decide on the 250
No problem glad it helped! I definitely prefer the 250 over the 125
yz250 is a properly decent allrounder but the 125 will force you to ride better 👍 and the 125x is supposed to be able to lug alot better than the mx version
Yeah I had the yz125 mx version for my first bike.. it definitely forced me to learn🤣
@@BrapGenius i started off road on a yz250f went to a wr450f back down to a wr250f then onto my yz250 was looking last year into maybe getting a 125, just because its lighter for riding longer using less energy
@@toady..9833 that’s cool man. In my opinion you do more work on the yz125 cause you have to be in the powerband to be able to really do anything. The yz250 you can lug around more. As for the yz125x I have no clue about so if that’s your move it might be a good one
I’m a 16 year old 6,4 139 kg guy (btw iv dropped 10kg and dropping more) I had a 350sxf but traded it for a Yz250 and find the 250 perfect🤙🏻
That’s awesome!! I love my yz250
what was your first bike?
I’m 6’3 203/lbs and I want to learn to ride… I’ve never rode a bike with a clutch before. At 6’4, how does the 250 ride for taller riders around 200/lb? Would I have to upgrade my suspension?
@@greg6162 you’d probably be fine with being able to throw the bike around and such things like that
I'm 5'11 weight 190 and rode maybe 3 dirt bikes, a ninja 636 and had a raptor 350. Would you say a 250 is too much to start off with? Also I would be riding in woody trail areas
You should be good to start with the 250, just be careful with the powerband until you’re used to it
Sup brap I’m 15 and 5’4 I’ve never had a dirt bike but I ride my friends do u think a kx100 would be good?
Yeah a KX 100 is a good bike to start on
Okay

125.
im a new rider deciding on a bike. going to ride casual street/woods/trails for a year before i start trying to race. i want to get a 250 because there easier to maintain and control but i also want a 125 because i want that kick in a 2 stroke and the speed of a 2 stroke. any opinions on that?
The 250 has way more balls and much better low end torque than the 125 imo
5’10” 130lbs 16 years old. The bike I ride now is a ttr250. My dad thinks I should get a 125 and that it is fast enough but I want a yz250. What do you think.
Depends on where you’re riding.. if it’s the woods I highly recommend the 250 cause of the low end torque
Had a 125 ride trails all the time and felt the same way about needing power ban on hills. Bought a 250 4 stroke but really miss the 2 stroke fun. Debating on 250 or 125
I’d say go for the 250 2 stroke. The low end that you missed out on in the hills with the 125 you get with the 250 and you still have fun cause it’s a 2 stroke
Witam !
Interesuje mnie spalanie 125vs250
Czy jadac podobnie 250 powinien saplic mniej paliwa ? Mam racje ?
@Brap Genius I am 15 years old 5'10 and 150 lbs. I have a 1985 yz 125 and a 2020 klx 140 g. I mostly ride track but some trail. Do you think the 250 is the right bike for me? Thanks.
Yes I think you’ll absolutely be fine
Hey Brap, I’m 22, 5’11 175-200lbs. Never rode a bike in my life, should I get a yz125 2 stroke or a yz250 2 stroke?? I’d appreciate anyones insight.
Both really aren’t good bikes to start on but if u we’re gonna do it I say get the 250 cause it has more low end than the 125. Just be VERY careful because it has a lot of power for someone with no experience. Take it slow for a while
@@BrapGenius You’re a beast for replying, I’ve been kinda stressing trying to figure out/find a dirt bike. That’s def the plan with any bike I get tho. Just gonna take it easy for the first month or so of riding or until I understand the power band
@@BrapGenius I kind of wanna get an yzx heard they are a bit better than their motocross counterparts
@@CoolGuynumbawan they are much more controllable as well I’d get the X
@@BrapGenius I might just get an older 125 2 stroke near me and ride out the seasons before the winter and just full send on the 2023 yz250x bc legit no dealers/private sellers have new yz for sale. Appreciate all your input tho man🤙
Planning on buying one or the other next spring decently experienced 14 year old rider I’ve driven a 250 2 stroke and love bed it I’ll be 15 by the time of purchase one any recommendations?
Honestly it depends on the kind of riding you’re doing. If it’s track or flat trails get the 125 if it’s rocky trails or hills the 250 has more low end torque
@@BrapGenius I’m going to be riding in sand dunes and doing Alaskan enduro riding so I think maybe a 250
@@trevornewton9687 definitely the 250
Hello there I'm 14 5'5 I ride a honda atc 200x and a yamaha yz85 my dad is going to give me his rm125 should I roll with that or get a bigger bike since a ride a 200cc 4 stroke 3 wheeler
Start with the rm125 for a while and if you get bored you can always sell it and get something else
@@BrapGenius thank ya
One of my buddies are about to buy a yz250 with 0 motorcycle/ clutch experience. Think he’ll be alright? Tried to get him on a 125 instead but he says he doesn’t want to have to buy another bike. Says he’ll be responsible or whatever but not trying to see him kill himself
It’s possible I’d just make sure he learns on a flat area and stays out of the powerband for a while
Sounds like your 125 wasn't setup properly, especially if you felt like you couldn't lug at the speeds shown in this video as a 125 would be perfectly fine for that. Hill's to an extent I agree with you but aside from that I don't really agree with what you are saying, single track 125 is better not sure why you'd say a 125 ruins you know single track compared to the 250? Unless you are 200lbs or more, the 125 would be better in all areas aside from the hill climbs which the 250 is much easier to use
The trails in this video aren’t what I normally ride on. These were very smooth compared to the trails I’m usually which are extremely rocky and I live in the mountains so most of my riding is hills. I started on a yz125 and it was a horrible bike for the terrain I was riding in. When I got the 250 having that low end torque made the same trails so much easier to ride. I’m not saying the 125 couldn’t be set up to be a good woods bike, but I am saying a stock 125 vs stock 250 comparison shows the 250 is much better for the kind of riding I do
My 125 is bored out it I can lug up most hill with out a problem some pretty steep and I’m 190 pounds
Dopeee
with the 125, you have to be very agressive but you learn more
I agree 100%
I've been stuck on this decision for a while. I've had several 450s. But I want to get a 2 stroke and try something new. Only other 2 stroke I owned was a banshee. Most of my wheeling experience is on ATVs(400s and 450s). Therefore which would you guys recommend? I'm stuck between a 125 and a 250. I like to mainly power wheelie more than i like clutch ups. Most of my riding is wheelies on the street.
Get the 250 no doubt
@@BrapGenius even over the 450s?
@@Kinggbagg6 the 450 is way easier to wheelie but if you’re gonna go 2 stroke for street wheelies go 250
How do you power that light bar on the handlebars ?
It’s a tusk enduro light bar. It has its own battery that I attached to the inside of the number plate
@@BrapGenius that's pretty awesome, I need one of those
@@rileyhers8670 it was like $250 but worth every penny in my opinion
@@BrapGenius how long does the battery last?
good video, learned something new today
Glad you did brotha
125 or 250 for older guy very new to riding mx tracks?
For tracks definitely a yz125
What light setup have you?
It’s a Tusk Enduro Light Bar kit.. the battery goes behind the number plate
i’m 14 years old 5,7 and 110 lbs what would you recommend
I’d say get a crf 150r
If you are 5’7 you could fit on a 125 two stroke
@@albertjankins2225 it would be a little tall but yes you could
Get a kx 100 🤙
Idk if anyone will see this, but if anyone does, what would you guys recommend between these two bikes for me. I am 25, 5’9 and about 181lbs. I have ridden street bikes ever since i got my licence but in the past year or so i am wanting to switch to a mx bike and i was looking specifically for these two bikes. Now i got 0 experience on riding dirt bikes (or two stroke honestly, this will be my first two stroke) except when i rode my bikes off the road (mostly flat dirt tracks, small rocks etc). Would the 250 2stroke be too much for me or should i go with 125?
You’ll be fine on the 250. Just be aware the more throttle you give it the more power it has, as long as you give it little throttle in the beginning to stay out of the powerband you’ll be good
Guys do you think it’s safe if I go from my 125 Chinese pit bike to a yz 250f do think it’s ok if I do that or should I pick something less powerful pls let me know
You would be perfectly fine, go for it brother
@@BrapGenius thanks for the input and I’m actually kinda start to like the 2 stroke
I’ve had chinese, atm have 250f and 125 (all YZ) and in my opinion 250f is powerful, for sure, but rides like a grandpa bike. Heavy, suspension absorbs too much shock etc.. almost no fun in it! Take the 125 and u shud be fine yeah
Should i get a moto or cross country
Depends on ur riding if you’re riding woods get an enduro if you’re riding track get a mx
250 for woods and hill climbs. 125 for everything else
Yes
If I’m 15 and an intermediate rider that’s been on a klx140g that does a lot of trails and some track should I go on the the 250 you think I’m 6’2 150lbs
I think so the bottom end is more tame in my opinion. It has low end torque
is a 250 good for a first time rider who knows how to use a clutch? im 5 10 160 pounds
If it’s a 4 stroke it’s okay.. if it’s a 2 stroke absolutely not
how about a 125
@@jonjonn18 I started on a yz125 it was really hard to ride tbh
@@BrapGenius which one was easier to learn
@@jonjonn18 the 250 because it has low end torque
yz125 is bigger than a yz450 therefore bigger than a 250. look it up yes its lighter and maybe thiner but the yz125 is the tallest sitting bike of all... prove me wrong....
Just looked it up and the 2003 yz450f has a seat height of 39.3 while the 2003 yz125 has a seat height of 39.1
Which bike is bigger/taller?
Yz250
@@BrapGenius but some people say that yz125 is taller 🤨 I’m confused?!?
there both the same size just depends on how you set the suspension up my 450 is the same height as my 125
for me 250 is the best size
Agreed
so basically, 125 street bike
i can see that you love riding and thats cool but you should try to become a better rider and then you will realize that most of what youre saying are wrong. those easy african twin trails wont help you advance tbh
I respect your opinion, however these aren’t the trails I normally ride on. This is a little area my buddy’s dad carved out a few decades ago. I normally ride in rocky hilly terrain. I also wasn’t trying to ride hard I never do in videos cause it’s hard to focus on talking while riding fast.
@@BrapGenius thx for the reply! i dont doubt that but 125 is much better for enduro than 250 imo. first off theyre mx bikes so unsuitable for enduro. 1st gear is very high, suspensions are too stiff, flywheel is lighter, back wheel is larger etc. but enduro and mx bikes are much easier to ride when you pin the throttle, theyre designed that way. you get tired less with throttle open too, its like floating above the obstacles. so i need a bike i can pin. 250 mx are for riders who are either very good or amateurs that need the torque to get through hard sections while riding 1st gear with a raw 5 speed gear box. but you cant learn how to ride when depending on torque alone.
@@manoliswec5674 I understand what you’re saying. I’ve always had older dirt bikes so I’ve never experienced an enduro version of either a 125 or 250. All I know is a 125 mx was a lot harder to ride for me in the trails I ride than the yz250
@@BrapGenius yeah i know! i just love the 125 actually.
difference is 125 is reeeeeeet reet reeet, 250 is raaahhh raah raah
Yes
Awesome video I love Yz250.
Thanks and same I think it’s my favorite bike that I own
