Goodness..... still that much snow on the ground? recent pic?

 

I hope the Kawasaki 2-strokes are carb bikes. What I like about two strokes is simplicity . The injected two strokes give up a lot of that....and gain 7 pounds

Congrats. I am really wanting to try one of those in the woods. They seems like great bikes. I can't believe there is that much snow on the ground still lol. That is wild. Anyways, enjoy the bike.

I test rode one at The Corduroy Enduro last fall and really liked it. I want to try one or two hard enduros this year too. I've been on FX/F 250s for the last 6 years. 


We're supposed to get 6-8 inches tomorrow too. 😭

Enjoy the ride!! ✌️

The YZ250 is a great machine, love mine!
I wish the YZ250X would still be sold new here in Europe, with headlights and road legal.

Put some gas in it and ride!

 

Acerbis big tank, Enduro Engineering hand guards, skid plate and disc guard. Graphics and plastic. Maybe go one rate stiffer on the fork springs, but I'll need to ride it first.

Any thoughts about trying the Hitlis system on it since you'll be using for technical offroad stuff?

I've looked into it, but I'm pretty cheap. $375, while a good deal for what you get, and the engineering behind it, buys a lot of gas and tires. 

 

Maybe I can test one for Vital 😂
