Yep, I also got to ride a 12 350xcw. If I was to ever go back to a 4-stroke that is what I would buy.

I used to race a WR250F in the open intermediate class back in 02/03 and absolutely loved the bike. I'm 6'4" and 210lbs too, and the motor was stock aside from the pipe. I used to get holeshot after holeshot against 450's and two stroke of all sizes. Never ever felt the lack of power was a problem aside from the odd gigantic loose material hill. 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. |

Yea the W is a better bike than the XC. Enigne is tuned for more low end and it has the new clutch with a much lighter pull.

I hope they will do the SixDays Design for the 4T, because I MUST have the German Sixdays plastics on mine!!!

The only thing that would worry me, is the gearing on the yz250f is pretty low, it runs out topend on the transfer roads. I think that for the forest it would be super, for where we ride a lot with long bits of road between trail, in a race you would be left sucking dust. too bad that don't put a 6 speed tranny in these! but I am still thinking about it
