YZ will be hard to ballance. The DRZ250 is way easier to ballance than a sportbike.

Re: Balance point

i'm pretty much a squid too, but I would say the easier one to wheelie would be the one you ride the most. They both have two wheels, an engine and a back brake. One has a power band that might make things more complicted but i'd stick with street unless you ride mx. I think they are both equally a challenge but once you get it, it's like second nature to wheelie them.

My DRZ400 wheelies it's self. Requires little to no throttle control and practically ballances on it's own side to side. It's exactly like a big fiddy. Tons of fun to ride though.

Thats pretty much how my 150f is

Rides pretty much just like a 50 lol

took me 4 days from going from a 50, to the 150 to learn circles lol

Gotta admit though, anything from a xr100 to a drz400/crf450 make learning circles on big bike easier I think.. Its about teh same feeling cutting my 150 as my f4i, except for the whole 100hp 4 cylinder thing!

whereas a 50 IMO, doesn't teach you much circle technique for a sport bike


And posts from this post on out, are half drunk, so watch yo self!

Re: Balance point

that doesn't sound smart to me, not if it's the stock plastic. The back tire will eat your foot!
