Pros/Cons of 250SX-F?

[mx125]

Hi

Im moving up from my DRZ 125 and am thinking about buying either an 06 SX250F or an 07 RMZ250.. Any pros or cons of the bike (or bikes), especially since its my first 250??Im about 5'9 and 140lbs

Thanks, any help is appreciated

At your weight and size either of those bikes will be a great choice but I would take the KTM for the reliability and higher peak horsepower. I think however that the Suzuki for you would probably be the better handling bike.

KTM250SXF FASTEST 4 STROKE 250F ALIVE!!! not even joking, i rode honda, yamaha and kawasaki/suzuki 250f's and my 250 felt the fastest.

Pro - the highest quality bike out with a crazy fast motor.

Con - suspension is lacking compared to same year jap bikes.

For me it was an easy trade and can even be remedied for a little cash.

Oh and here is my baby after a little mud ride!

i agree 100% on what you said. I too, have ridden all the other bikes, and my KTM 250SXF is way faster and stronger throughout all the power...??

The funny thing is that all the mags like to say it feels the slowest which is nothing but a bunch of biased crap which is why I find it hard to read some of those reviews on bikes ive ridden before because have the time there wrong.

hi what to look for on an 07 sxf

[motoxrider121]

mines on 07 and I don't really have any problems. I would recommend taking 20cc or oil out of each fork as it really helped the front end. Other than that make sure you check your bolts.

See what i mean. ktm is the best and yes people are bias about it and jealous.

KTM and ME FOREVER!

The 07 250 SX-F had some bad bearings in the gearbox, here in europe it the bearing was changed under warranty. The newest 08 250 SX-F's have bad conrod bearings. Looks like KTM has had some qualitytrouble with their supplyers lately.
