I'm looking for some opinions on the YFZ vs 250R as far as ergonomics and feel.

I'm seriously contemplating selling my 250R hybrid stuff to build a YFZ hybrid.

It was going to be a 250R/LTZ 400 hybrid for trail riding and snow use, but the extra electrical, battery and radiator/fan thing is complicating it.

A YFZ has a lot of the solutions and can be bought for less than I have in my hybrid parts.

Most people say that a YFZ runs closest to a 2-stroke, but how does it feel? The only way I'll know is to try it out, but I don't want to buy one just to find out it is nothing like the ergonomics and feel of a 250R.

FWIW I like the feel of the KFX450 and KTM, but not the Honda 450R, or the LTR450.

I have not been on a YFZ.

i had a yfz and liked it, i like the fact that the rear shock and linkage is similar to the cr500. the front of the seat is a little narrower that an R
