That is a cruel, cruel joke

I'm currently giving a 2013 YZ250 some serious consideration. At least one jap brand is still making 250 smokers. Now if only it was fuel injected..

I'm even surprised KTM or Husqvarna hasn't built a FI 2 stroke for the high-mountain enduro guys. With all the dudes still riding smokers they'd sell like hotcakes.

I don't know how that would work with a reed intake. Not saying it wouldn't. But not sure if it would

I'm not sure exactly how it'd work either but it's been done. Lots work invested that's for sure.

It's one of the most comfortable and well suspended bikes I've ridden. The only one that had better suspension was the 08 YZ125, because it was revalved. I'd love to get my Husky revalved someday, but right now I'm not racing, so it's not necessary. The husky is still more comfortable to ride, and handles turns better than the YZ, which says a lot since the YZ is a good handling bike.

The gearbox is odd... I rode it as a 125 and as a 144. The gap between 1st and 2nd is big, and 2nd and 3rd is bigger, beyond that is fine, but when you're banging gears, it seems like its bogging, but in reality it's just struggling to bridge the gap between the gears because they're too far apart. The 144 had the same issue, but it didn't struggle as much.

It's so easy to work on too - I pulled the top end without having to remove the rads or the gas tank.

My main reason for getting the Husky was cuz I came across a smokin deal, and I wanted to get a 144, and the possibility of getting a 165..... I actually now do own the 165 kit, but I haven't ridden it yet this year. They're supposedly the holy grail. I test rode an 08 YZ250, just didn't like how it handled and the power delivery. I'm just a 125 style rider.

Exactly how I felt about my 125, and I too went husky because I got a killer deal on mine. Thats why my 250 sat after I bought the 125. 144 will be my next mod, I feel like the bike will be perfect after that and a pipe.
