as much as it hurts to say this...get the 4 stroke for racing

250 2-stroke vs 250F Hmmm.. well those two bikes dont race in the same class. If you get the 250t you will be racing with the 450F. and if you get the 250F you will be racing with the 125t. I dont know if you knew that or not.

I think a 250t will be to much for you if you dont have that mush experience. And i think you should consider a 125t and a 250F they both race in the same class.

I like the 2 strokes better than 4, But 4 strokes have an unfair advantage in racing.

Get the 250 2 stroke. AMA is havin the same dissplacment rule. Wich means you race with a 250 2 against a 4. The 2 stroke is also better for woods.

yeah i knew about the racing classes but i dont think that i will be racing really anytime soon. Im scared that if i go and get a 125t i will get bored with the power.

Then get a 250 2 stroke.

where ya heard about this displacement rule?

in that case i would go for the 250t

otherwise go 250F


Posted by: jtm994---------------------

ok so what if i said that i wouldnt be racing for awhile...maybe a couple of years b/c i have much riding experence and kinda need to get the basics down first. 250F or 250T?
