If new or close to it, awesome, like any other modern near new or new 250 two stroke...if old and looked after and well set up, awesome. If old and suspension is buggered about with by someone who doesn't know what they are doing or chassis neglected ( engine even) - like a hammer drill in a kettle on concrete with a siezure imminent.

LOL jeez I thought the same thing...Go on Booom try one, then give us a report. Now that would be interesting.

im after more of a "more low end than a rm, more top than a yz, better suspension than a cr, better handling than a kx" sort of comparison....

is there anyone that preferes the 250sx to something else - and why?

A mate just replaced his 450sxf with a 250sx, because it was lighter.

If it's new/near new, it will be a weapon. Stupidly light, the friendliest 250 2T MX engine on the market (plus has the PV springs to play with), tractable, handles well, PDS properly sorted now, loads of fun. Was going to buy one, but then I started reading about the 350...

Only downside I found was the bugger vibrated harder than my ex-missus's 'rabbit turbo'.

i heard that ktm's were the first sign of homosexual tendencies...

if the PDS is sorted, why are the new four stroke MX bikes got a linkage?
