Check out my bike

That thing is SWEEEETT!! I really want a two-stroke but not sure if I'm up for the amount of mechanical work that is required. I mean I don't mind working on a bike, but don't know if I'd be up to regularly rebuilding the motor or part of the motor.

From what I've heard you can't really just keep running them a full season without either a top or bottom end is that correct?

yeah.. it does take quite a bit of work to keep it reliable. My 98 TZ250 reguired new top ends every 300 miles and new crank every 1,200 miles. So basically a crank lasted the whole season and I went through 6 sets of top ends last season. The 2000+ TZ250 requires a new crank every 750 miles.

The maintenance work is really simple with the proper tools and it can be fun. The only draw back is that you'll be constantly goofying with the jetting, ignition timing, deckheight etc.....to keep it running good.

Or you can just buy a  Aprilia RS250(Super Gay) and not worry about maintenance during the season :)  ;D
