Wore out front tires faster than the back, and never crashed. Bike just didn't have that extra little bit of power that gets a rider in trouble. Sold the bike to my cousin after two years and he rode it for another 4 before selling it. Never had to touch the engine. I won the internediate title that year on that bike, winning 9 of the 12 races I attended.
Even before I bought my 11 300GG, I was thinking about going back to a 250F. IMO they are the safest and probably one of the funnest bikes to ride out there.

I had the same experience on my 250X. Lots of holeshots, perfect blend of power and traction.
