Having just dumped my DRZ400 pig-bike, I've been considering replacing it with a 250 thumper. If I do this, I definitely want to get an enduro model with electric start. The KTM 250 EXC was ruled out 'cause it weighs nearly as much as the ole 400 Suzuki. Next choice was the 250X based on lower weight and simpler (single-cam) top-end. Then I went and rode one and crossed it off my list. The tranny just didn't seem to be spaced well for aggressive trail riding. First gear was uselessly low and the gaps between 2nd & 3rd and 3rd & 4th were weird at best. The bike handled extremely well and the motor seemed capable, but I just couldn't get over the gearing. I don't have any buddies with a WR 250F, so I haven't been able to test ride one. Can someone give me an objective comparision between the 250X and WR 250 please? Thanks!
