[QUOTE="wake_rider, post: 1403748, member: 75633"] If you're already racing a 125 smoker, then a 250 won't be out of your capabilities. Just remember that it's like your 125 but has a little more pull from the bottom (better power in the torque range) and that it hits harder from the mid to top. It really is a good thing though because you have a more broad, usable power range while retaining that solid two-stroke feel. On top of having a solid mx'er, you'll also gain a lot more capability on the trails over that 125 so you can start to expand your riding venues and experience. Just treat it with the same respect that you would with any bike the first few times you take it out and you'll be just fine with a bike that will last just as long as you maintain it! Btw, a major plus to the 250 is a less often routine of replacing pistons and rings. A 125 requires keeping the engine screaming in top rpm's to make the power required to hastily lap a track. A 250 has a lot more low end power so you don't have to constantly downshift to keep rpms high enough to pull through soft patches and such. This allows for slightly less wear and tear on the piston, rings, and cylinder and allows for a less common top-end refresh. [/QUOTE]
