There's footage of him racing 450 and killing everyone at that age, too.

He rode the big bike all year in 2007. As far as I remember, he only stepped down one more time to the 85 to get his Junior world title.
The guys that he's racing against in that Video are no Amateurs either. Nagl didn't race that series but apart from that those were the fastest guys in Germany

That's awesome! I remember back in 2006 when he rode the Junior World Championships at my home track in Finland. He was just 12 years old and finished 2nd only behind Lupino who was 15 at the time. It was amazing. 3rd that day was Eli Tomac. And a French kid named Marvin Musquin finished 3rd in the bigger class. Pretty cool to look back at that day actually.

Was at the MXoN at Lakewood where he was riding for Germany, was a huge success to say the least. Dude took 3rd in the entire field in his race. everybody around us was glued to his ride. truly amazing to say the least.

Serious question for you Tarz...and be honest. Do you actually own the KX250 that you posted on this site ??? I sent you 05 KX250 freshly rebuilt forks, master cylinder, brake caliper, brake line, triple clamp, bars and other odd and ends for Free and I paid the shipping which was $50.00. I wanted to help you because I really thought you needed it and seemed genuine, post the pic's you promised and tell the truth. And No, I don't think you need a newer bike.

I remember racing against him in 250 B at the LL regional in 08 at Steel City and kept hearing how this 14 year old kid from Germany was racing that day. Really hurt my 20 year old ego. Some notable names he beat that day are Jimmy decosits, aj catanzaro, and Dylan slusser.

Unbelievable. Pure talent right there folks.

I hope Ken will eventually get back to his old self without pushing too hard, if he can he has no competition, not even Tomac.

Tarz, I'm waiting, you've avoided this issue 3 or 4 times now. Just answer the simple question and we can close this chapter. To lucas, my apologies for derailment of your thread.

Yes i have the Kx 250
I recieved the package and i think you are the most awsome guy on this site
Im very appreciative
I have just been working a lot
Just had 2 new additions to the family (twins)
I havent had time or money to put them on yet
But it is my near future plans, and thanks again for sending me the stuff that really cool of you , you dont see stuff like that very often these days it kinda restored my faith in humanity Smile the reason i was asking about other older bikes is because i have never ridden a 250F and i feel like id like to get one at some point , i hadnt rode in several years and when i last did my bike was a 125 2 stroke im wondering if this 250 2 stroke may be too much for me .
But i plan to ride it for a while for sure , and maybe add a 250f at some point when i can.
