Hey guys, anyone ride a 16/17 150 back to back with a KTM 250f? I rode a 150 a few years back and didn't really enjoy it. I'm wondering if I should give it another shot?

The problem is that I get to ride 1-2 times per week so I don't really feel the need for 2 bikes.

What do you think?

If you want to go fast(lap times) get the F, if you want to enjoy the ride and have fun get the T.

It's not that I want to go fast or win races on a 250f, but how does the 150 handle and bike feel? Would you think it's the same frame?

Does the new 150 vibrate as much as the old one?

You get to ride 1-2 times per week? That's a great reason for two bikes!

Two-stroke tuesdays and four-stroke fridays!

I'd vote the 150. I had a ktm250sxf and it wasn't slow but I was really bored with it. Idk man something about it I just didn't want to ride the damn thing. Bought 250sx and problem solved. Who knows if I'm faster or not but riding is more enjoyable.

Id go for the two stroke, I would expect the bike to feel much different(better) than the one you rode a few years ago with all the R&D Ktm hs done.

I was just chatting with my friend in Oregon(I'm in CA now) who has a 150 and yz250f. He suggested I definitely ride the 150 before I buy.

I'll keep my eyes open, if I can get a screaming deal where I could get my money back,if I had to sell, I'll do it.
