Hello everyone, new to the site but have known about it for a long time. Im currently riding an 18 rmz 450. Always had a secondary bike or two. Last couple seasons I had a 13 crf450r and 12 yz250 2 stroke I rode in addition to the rmz. Then I sold both and am currently looking for something else. Question being will a 250f be competitive being I'm a larger rider (210 lbs) and B class level? I want something I can rev to the moon and have a blast on. Mostly just riding for fun but I plan to race occasionally. I'm looking at a 20 kx250 because there are screaming deals on them currently. Last year I put in around 40 track days here in the midwest. Thanks for the input!
Fun - yes
B class with the vets/ seniors - plenty competitive.
we had a second bike that could run a different class, so back in the day 250/500.. and then 250/125. Now between me and the boy we have 250/450 modern, and 125 /500 Evo Super Evo .

When I first moved to A class I lined up and looked down the line and of about 20 racers I saw one that went about 240-250 and I thought “ hell at least I’ve got his fat ass covered”. I did out start him and maybe 5 others but before the first lap finished the fat one blew by me like I was tied to tree.
Today’s 250f will be plenty of engine for you and you’ll have a blast on the bike.
However, I have had no days where I didn’t have a blast riding, and I was pretty safe the entire year. Had some small crashes that resulted in shoulder damage, but no concussions or anything. I race 4 classes at local races, but can do the same on a 250 SX and have more HP, and 2 strokes are just fun!
