So it's looking like I'll be able to pick up a new bike sometime this year and I was just curious about anyone's experience with switching from a 250f to a Fc 350 or tc 250. I like the idea of the 2 stroke because it takes me back to the days of screaming around on my 85 and 125, but that 350 really sounds like it's got a damn good engine. I'm a slow b rider on my best days and really just am out there to have fun, love my 250f but it's time for something more powerful.
I now have a 2016 KTM350SXF and its really a fun bike to ride. It feels like a 250F on nitrous. Keep in mind my seat of the pants opinion is based on coming off a 450, it could feel like a heavy turd stepping up from a 250F. Kaleb Russell mentioned that its way easier to get back on a 250F after riding the 350 but difficult to step up from the 250F to the 350. Anyhoo, you only live once so I say go for it...if you hate it get something else, there are tons of people looking to buy clean 350s.

I honestly think you need to ride a newer 250F to get an accurate view of the power output versus what you already have.
As far as your 250 with a fly wheel weight I'm going to have to do that for sure I'm thinking I'll build myself a smoker for a project/second bike later on
I am pretty biased on the white side though my local shop happens to have a couple riders following the sx circuit (JMC motorsports) on huskys so having them down the road from me really helps
