Wait....what? Where did you get those spec's? I hadn't heard of a 250F like that since....ever? Sounds like a dream bike honestly.

I've ridden enough fast MX bikes, 150hp hill climbers, and wicked v-twin H-D flat trackers. ...and my semi-old, semi-out of shape ass isn't that interested in bone jarring factory MX suspension settings if I was being honest.

I'd way rather give a go on a 230hp MotoGP bike for a day. Or even a World Super Bike. I imagine it to be absolutely terrifying- in a good way (and a bad way, quite frankly Woohoo )

I just don't imagine a factory motocrosser to be that enjoyable for anyone outside of a current factory pilot. ...and that I am not. I'm a fast A class off-road/desert rider and a mediocre B on an MX track. plain and simple. A factory MX'er would probably just be dangerous with me at the bars, at least on a MotoGP bike I would be scared shitless and that would keep me in check. Wink

X2 on this. I would love to compare it to my 06 rm, I'm sure it would be a little weird though since I am 6 foot.

any of the factory 125's that were around back in the day
I reckon they'd be the only things I'd get close to knowing what potential they had

probably would enjoy a factory 250f too... and cause you asked for one in particular aah lets go with the KTM

Reading RJ's interview in MXA had me wanting to ride Lechien's 1985 Factory Honda. RJ raved about it - and that's not the first time I've heard him go on about how perfect that bike was.

Modern day:
This might sound crazy, but I'd like to take a spin on Brayton's YZF450. By all accounts that bike is much better, and if it has helped propel JB into the mix, it must be pretty damn good.

Retro:
85' RC250

I remember when Stew said if he had to ride that bike ever again he would just retire.

This one for me too... I bet it's the easiest one to ride out of all of the modern ones listed. AC ain't no dummy

That has been my wallpaper for a long long time and before that it was the same bike with #113 on it. Or the same year #777 Honda would be fun.

HA!.....I know! That's why I would like to ride it! Silly He was so damn fast on the SOB though....and looked good doing it! I gotta say though , some of these factory 450's that are popping up in this thread would be awfully tempting as well.
