I'm here for a similar reason. . I stopped when my first kid was born in 1992. . I was 28. . 17 years have passed and my youngest is 11. . I'm going to get back into the sport and bring him with me.proecadgod said:What the hell happened while I was gone with all this 4-Stroke crap? I guess a lot can happen in 25 years.
Stop splitting my head in half or I'll never make up my mind and I'll never buy anything.Chili said:Ride one and you'll think you're in heaven, blow one up and you'll know you're in hell.
I just saw "most dependable" and I think I fell in loveproecadgod said:Think I'm feeling either a 2009 or 2010 250 4S. Only thing I need to decide is which manufacturer to buy and from reading through this forum that can be a pretty hard question to answer.
So far my order of Bikes is:
1. Red (all around bike)
2. Green (best engine and power)
3. Blue (Most dependable)
4. Yellow (Best handling, but least amount of Power)
5. KTM (No dealership with 100 miles of me)
Chili said, "Yamaha is by far the most reliable" and I'm feeling much better about thumpers now.Chili said:I've spent an extensive amount of time at the track over the last 8 years and I'll share my opinion on the current crop of 250F's. Keep in mind that and $1.49 will get you a cup of coffee these days.
- Honda has had significantly more issues with valve wear than any other brand over the past several years including the 09, haven't heard much from the Red bunch on the 10's. I do know that the 2010 CRF shares the same ill handling manners that plagued the 09 450 with the new chassis.
- Yamaha is by far the most reliable but it is also the dog of the class power wise and is need of a serious engine makeover. The plastic on the 10's remind me of a chinese pit bike.
- KTM I'd take a 2 stroke tomorrow, you couldn't pay me to take a 4 stroke.
- Suzuki seems to have the same continuous issues with their 250F's (clutch and false neutrals) Some folks have more issues than others. Our last Yellow 250F was in 07 and it was a great bike other than breaking clutch plates on a fairly regular basis. There is literally only 1 2010 RMZ250 in my area and the girl that owns it hasn't raced this year so can't give much feedback on it.
- Kawasaki from 08 on would be my current choice of all the crop of 250F's, great motor and we had no complaints with the handling although some folks throw on a different set of triple clamps to change the offset (we did this with our 450's but didn't feel the 250 needed it). Very few recurrent issues with the green bikes over the last few years and it is a sea of green around here.
