    Nice .. People are raving about those 350's , Power of a 450 and weight of a 250 has gotta be a hel of a tool !.

    i gave a mate a ride on sunday he has a KXF 250 , he is ordering one asap .

    They are the perfect bike power to weight ratio is awesome , it is so easy to ride and clearing the doubles tabletops etc is effortless with the extra torque

    I had a YZ250 which i bought for the winter to train and keep myself in touch, and maybe learn a bit more control for when i got back on track for the season.

    What i found though was that if i kept it, i wouldn't make it to the season in one piece. I couldn't stay on the thing, literally every time i looked at it, it hurt me! With a screwed knee already (no acl), it was probably the worst thing i could've bought!! She was sold soon after, in Jan 2011, to help pay for a new race bike for last year, and i never missed it!

    i love the 2 strokes , i also have a KTM SX250 but it is an animal to ride , its all or nothing when it comes to power and its so much harder to ride that the 4 stroke , maybe you should try a 4 stroke as if you haven't done mx before and go straight to a 250 smoker you will hurt yourself :-}}}

    i am thinking of sending it over here from Spain as use it for some enduro type riding as i would die riding it on the MX tracks here with all the jumps

    my SX 250

    Nice 350. I have got a ktm sx 125 2004. Only been out on it once around apex practice track in Worcester, been playing rugby but will get out on it more soon. Maybe have a go at racing mx loads of tracks and clubs around. Fancy a bit of enduro aswell.
    Realy good fun but very hard on your body, my shoulders have never ached that much.
