Is there a Vital 250 shootout? How about the others? What's the rundown?

Cheers!

I posted about this last week.

Lindsay said they are waiting on the riders write ups. Should be soon.

I posted my 450 Shootout before anyone else did and I plan to do the same with the 250. Wink

And while you were farting around with your shootouts Herlings announced that he has not made a decision yet. You got scooped . . .

Just get a KTM with KYB suspension. HAHAHA

My guess is it's going to be very similar to the 450 ranking. That KTM 250 puts out some serious power and is lighter than the others but we already know everyone hates the WP suspension...even though many don't really know why. The Yamaha has awesome suspension but doesn't have the power or the KTM or the handling and isn't as light.

The Husky might be good, but because it's new, it'll probably be at the bottom just because it's a Husky and not for any real good reason.

Kawi, Suzuki, and Honda...enjoy the basement boys. This fight is between Blue and Orange. Might want to step up your game.

There are two statements in there that are a bit off from what I've seen on my screen so far. Wink

You wouldn't happen to be a little KTM / Husky biased, would you? Thought I caught a little whiff of that while reading your post.

I wouldn't throw the Honda, Kawi, or Suzuki down to the bottom quite yet... One of them may have impressed.

Also, Husky didn't get last in our 450 Shootout for no good reason. Wink

I didn't wait for any shootout and bought a new 2016 Husky FC250 on Friday. No matter what I need to send my suspension to Enzo and I've been a lifelong Husky fan, ever since I was too young to realize it. I figured a new Husky would keep my 1973 250CR company in the garage.

Nice! Be sure to polish up that shiny mirror section on the tank. Wink

I've ridden the KTM and Yamaha back to back. But the numbers the KTM might put out more horsepower but the Yam puts out so much down low you can short shift it and not scream it like the KTM. I have a KTM and IMO I like the power of the Yam much more...

You sir are correct. Yamaha in both classes has proven to provide an amazing engine that is strong, snappy(yet controlled) and broad. If i didn't have a blue bike it would be orange. I have a 250f now, but my next bike may be a 350.

In all seriousness...I think Michael has done an exceptional job with his 450 shootout and expect nothing less from his 250 shootout.

...I still think a YZ or an SX is going to win. Laughing

I rode the 15's back to back....I was surprised at the Honda down low compared to the YZ. It was very robust in comparison to the Yamaha. I wonder if the CRF and RMZ move up this year with their engine updates.

Thats kind of what I felt as well. Usable power rather than all the power up high.

Pulling 3rd gear through the corners is no problem on the Yamaha.

I talked to the guy that does the motors for the GP team last week. Get a current model for less money and less hassle with the air stuff.
