I got a call Thursday night from someone that wanted to by my RM250. It doesn't happen often that someone calls you about selling your bike as you know. I'm not going to lie, I did picture myself riding the new RMZ 450 for a couple of seconds but decided to turn down the offer & braaaap for another year! I hope I made the right choice.

Good decision on two counts. One, you already own the 250 and it's a great bike. Two, the RMZ450s apparently have lots of bugs, some of which are problems with engine cases. The old saying "It's a good recipe, but it didn't spend enough time in the oven."

Looks awesome. I found a used '05 I'm thinking about going to look at. Have you done anything to the engine other than the pipe? What is the power like? I'm pretty sure the '05 and '06 are basically the same.

VForce, PC pipe & silencer...that's it. Most importantly I have a good suspension set up. Last season I only got to ride once a week(newborn baby at home) so I didn't want a motor set up to powerful. The motor is great & easy to handle. Riding once a week I was still able to do solid 20 minute sessions without stopping. Something I don't think I could do on a 450 at this stage in my life.

[quote="Scott Kalisch":489ytk28]Thats the same bike Scott Metz raced in Atlanta last year isnt it?[/quote:489ytk28]
Yup, he missed the night program by .04 of a second. He was 41st in timed practice. His first practice session was a waste because we but his 450 suspension on(way to stiff) & it was the first time he rode the bike. The 2nd session was the last one of the day(track was pretty beat) & he started to feel comfortable but just didn't have enough seat time. It was definitely a good time though. So yes, this bike was the 2nd to last 250 2 stroke to entire a AMA SX race. Siebler was the last & Willard did it on a 125.

good decision but i would be more proud if you had never considered the 450 in the first place.

My bud just bought used '05 RM 250 from a beginner for $2400 with complete new top end and gaskets and other stuff.
We both like the ride.
Good bottom/mid range to it. Reminded me of my old RMs. Nice, light, flicky feeling.
Gotta dang good friend to share a dang good bike with. Keep yours one more yr.

Danny, if the weather is decent on the weekends call a brotha up. The Long Island track has been open as long as the weather permits. Throw Alan or any of the other Jersey boys in the truck & take a ride! Actually I think I'm gonna go to Mototown one day next week, I'll let you know. But as always I'll be headed to E a few times once they open.
