If you take care of the machine it will last you a life time. But if you beat it up and dont take care of it it wont last you a month. I seen guys ride them at Sunshine MX and are very fast. The 250R is a good race bike but I dont like 2-Stroke quads.

Title: Re: Help with 250R Post by: The hyrbid kid on November 08, 2005, 09:01:56 PM im 5.8 and it was good for me..
but stock supsension sucks nut's... it is the worst supsension i have ever rode on.... but its a great bike great geomitry and great power... it will take some getting used to from a 300 ex to this because power is totaly different a 300ex isnt anything compared to a r.. but youll get used to it.. but when looking check the whoel frame for crack's.. Title: Re: Help with 250R Post by: ronny86250r on November 08, 2005, 09:46:13 PM i have an 86 been punched out slightly, i am 5/9 200 lbs and i can pretty much keep up or out run with any bike, they are awesome for racing you just better be able to hold on and enjoy the ride, the only thing i dont like is that you can not put put around all of the time on it not a low end bike unless you gear it way down
