The new name for it is 150 for 09 but its still got a displacement of one fourty sumthin but I think its got a bigger stroker crank. And ya I'm stickin to my 2 stroke for now. Till parts are too hard to find then I'll move up to a 250FTiki wrote: There were a couple of KTM 144's around the track last night. Man they sound good. Would really like to dig a ride on one.
Still the two strokes were louder in the arena then the four strokes, it was basic revs. Im sure you could hear the four strokes further away.
Just saying.

If I wanted to ride a 4stroke, I would stay home and mow the lawn

Interesting. I've found the 250F's to feel the same as a 250T as far as weight was concerned. Smoother, yes. Fun, no.OldTiddler wrote: I've tried several times over the years, but I just can't dig the 250 Ts. They're just too much weight and too pipey.
I've only been on one 250F, but it is a much more reasonable ride, lighter and smoother. Of course the lightest and smoothest of all is a 125. There's no better bike.

9 oz. It doesn't really slow the revs down, it just is harder to stall and you can run a gear higher in a lot of sections.todder wrote: I love my RM250. Smooth and easy to ride especially with the flywheel weight. Just chug it around.

Hmmm, thats interesting. I have a '05 RM250 but was a bit faster on a thumper. I had a RM-Z250 for a while and I was able to run Expert times on it in the woods, but it was underpowered in some respects and just didnt have the 'instant on' power I like to have to keep outta trouble when flying thru tight stuff. So I went back to the '05 RM250 and love the thing. I really need to respring it for my weight though, but the power delivery suits me better for fast woods racing.zookrider62 wrote: Absolutely love my 05 RM250, the most fun bike ive ever rode. I just cant get into 4 strokes, I am much slower on them.

I really need to install the extra flywheel that came with my bike. My RM hits like a monster (yeah, too much, but I love it). I should try my bike with the heavy flywheel installed. Maybe I'll do it for my next visit to Cygnus's.todder wrote: I love my RM250. Smooth and easy to ride especially with the flywheel weight. Just chug it around.

I feel the same wayMoto547 wrote: I wont ride anything but a 2 stroke. Ever. Sorry. I honestly would quit riding before I bought a 4 stroke. Absolutely no fun whatsoever.
