Every one I've ever known who has owned a 2t 250 or 125 for that matter has had no real gripes about any thing about them. Sure one might claim to be stronger or have better suspension than the others but for the most part they are all pretty reliable and have power, it's all in the rider. Having more power or a quicker power response can be matched by a simple change of gearing with sprockets or you can get a little more technical with it all. I've always had good luck out of Kawies, it's all I've ever had from mx, atv's and street.
