Seems like there is some movement back to smaller cc bikes over the past year. KTM's 350, Gasser 250f, Husky's whole line of small bikes.
I love the power of the 250 2-stroke, but the reality is it is a 49 HP motor and there is no way I can come close to using all of that in the woods.
I think I am growing accustomed to the fact that a 250f or 125/150 2-stroke is a deadly weapon is tight terrain and hard to beat.
BTW, I am not convinced by 1 article that the Gasgas 250f is a dog. I would really love to ride one. I love Gasgas' approach to building quality, functional off-road bikes. Hopefully they will catch on and more will be imported (especially to my local dealer
)
