Is WR400F more power than new 250f

[jmccown]

I just got a 400f Yammi (WR). I have been looking at an 05 highly modded Honda 250f with cam, hc piston, CF exh, etc. I am now wondering if the 250f is more powerful than the 400f. I haven't ridden the 250f.

I am somewhat satisfied with the power/torque of the 400 but the bike is heavy and wide-feeling vs. the more narrow/lighter mx bike. If the 250f would be more power vs the 400 I think I'd prefer the more narrow/lighter bike. Anyone ever rode the two for a comparo?

yz 250f??

the 400's top speed it probably faster but the 250 will have more torque and throttle response

it also depends on the mods though...

the WR400F will have more torque. They'll climb trees.

the 250f will rip it of the line but the wr400f would catch it when it hits top.

Again, I don't think the 250F would "rip it" off the line, but it might be close.

what do you mean tick tick boom? Is HC piston and cam not a good combination?

usually a lot of mods, means a lot of problems.

The new breed of 250F's are very high performance bikes that ride a very fine line between any reliability and performance. Start highly modifying the same bike and that line get's smaller and smaller.
