Default FAO Motocrosser peeps

I had a YZF 426 and It was insanely fast,although very heavy and you couldnt realy "lean" into corners due to the weight of it,now I fancy a KX250(04/05), now my question is this,will the 250 be as quick with the bands as my old 4 stroke was,also how much lighter will the 250 be,am I right in saying the power bands coming on in a 250 is similar to a turbo hit?

unless your quite big and strong a 250 2 stroke is the best option but for me it would be ether a yz cr or ktm as the kawasaki isnt as good

just stupid things mate like rebuild prices

the barrel has a chrome liner and it costs quite alot to put them right if it goes wrong the yz and cr are better built and cheeper to rebuild but for me the ktm is the best cos it comes with all the trick bits standard
