We have went thru several bikes over the years, both 2 & 4 stroke. At one point my oldest son rode a friends 04 KXF250 and like it a lot because it was a smaller bike than it's competitors. At the time he was riding an 04 CRF 250. If I was looking to buy a used bike now, say a 2006-2010, what bike in that era is considered the smaller bike? He isn't a big guy at 5'7"'ish 130lb and really likes that small feel. So, what should I be looking for and which one is a definite leave it along bike. I personally ride a 2007 CRF250 that he thinks "feels" much larger than that old 04 KXF.
Any advice?
Any advice?
Kawis feel big, but not in a bad way
Yamahas just feel all wrong
This is just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt
I have a '12 crf250r, and rode a '14 kxf250...and it was slightly bigger, but dam that bike is good.

Kinda lame they are the same size as their older brothers.
04 CRF250
05 CRF250
06 CRF250
07 RMZ250
10 CRF250
12 KXF250
In my opinion the ones that felt the smallest were the 10 Honda and the 12 Kawi (and both were great bikes). The Kawi felt the easiest to "manhandle" and control. But the honda felt slightly smaller.
The RMZ felt (size wise) a lot like the 04,05,06 Hondas, with maybe a bit stronger motor.
I think the newer the better?
Bubba seems to have a hard time setting up a bike for himself but you say "he helped them design those years of bikes"
