TE/TC 14 TC250 opinions

I agree long as a bike 250 is setup for what you are doing. I believe 250 would be faster than small bore.

Id say on the tight single track with lots of turns I am quicker on the older 125 platform - simply because I haven't mastered the bigger bike on turns . I could throw that thing into turns - better than a YZ 125 even
If I made a big effort to master the technique on the 250 it may be different
The light feel definitely helps me personally on tight corners .
Any longer hills and straights and the bigger 250/300 is the go

If I had access to Walt 177 kits like you guys do that would definitely be worth trying

Well I just bought a 17 te250 and I have been a small bore guy for 8 years. I am betting the bike will not make me any faster or tire less but just wanted to try something different and feel like I am riding the little wr165 bike hard not sure how much more it can take.
