I'm 35 and been riding my whole life. I have had to many machines in the past to list but my last bike was an 08 CRF 450. I wanted to try a new fuel injection CRF 250 but I also like the new YZF but it's carbed. I was looking to drop down in cc's because I want a nimble feel.

are you racing? the new 2012 kx is pumping out 39 hp stock, thats quite a bit. If you want a bike that is great in corners get the rmz. Ive never had a 2012 crf250r but I do have the 09 and its been great, Its a pain to start though. KTM if your looking for a real tame engine only pumping out i believe 35 hp but it does have the hydraulic clutch and electric start. Finally there is the new YZ, for 2012 they changed the frame and made it a lot better in corners, they also made a few mods to the engine, its still carbed however so it could make things more reliable, but jetting is a pain. If it was me and being sick of carbs I'd probably go rmz
