I have a 99 CR250. It has a great bottom end hit and pulls up any hill I care to try. I ride at Carnegie, CA. This place has alot of hillclimbs that are very rocky and loose. I may have trouble getting up some of the more steep trails, but it's not the bike's fault. I ride with friends that have collectively, a CR500, CRF450, XR600, and an '02 CR250. With the exception of the CR500, my bike is right on par with the rest. My 99 has alot more low end than the '02CR. I also ride some track and do alot of just playing around on trails. I think I will try a flywheel weight to give a little more low end momentum for the tighter trails and steeper hills. Other than that, I couldn't be happier!:yeehaw:
