I had a quick go on a 250 tpi a few weeks back. Felt instantly at home on it on a sticky rutted green lane. Very light, as in light as a 125 would have been ten years ago. I don't think the owner had even touched the suspension clickers and it was very confidence inspiring to ride (I normally need +1 heavier rear spring). With a counter balancer and fi, the motor was very smooth, although I don't think the fi is perfect. Also deceptively powerful, I couldn't keep up on my fairly well set up 300 on a flat out blast.
Superb bike, probably the best option out there for someone who races a lot, especially if they enjoy tougher enduros. However, not for me, just doesn't float my boat. I'm fighting the temptation go and pick up one of the ex demo 2018 gassers that are around at the moment
