Word is my local and good friend James is gonna purchase one of these bikes for trails and maybe some racing also ...He's gonna be on alot of trails I do believe as all these guys here pretty much came from that background. This is gonna be too cool seeing what that bike does on the same trail with any one of my different 250cc Huskies ...
I have an A rider buddy who just switched from a 2013 KTM 250 2 stroke to a 2014 CRF250 and he is faster on the Honda.
A buddy of mine has the same year bike and finds it very suitable for him. He gets about 2 seasons maybe 3 before changing valves. They use titanium valves and wear out but that is really the only weak point of the motor. The engine will lug down low without stalling easily. Not the fastest 250 out there but formidable IMHO. I do know he took the suspension to a shop to have it professionally setup.
