We can work on a price or trade me something useful like a truck with 4 x 4.

is it amphibious?

[Bluewarrior7]

Yes, similar to the Amphibian that inhibits the Bluewarrior7 Moat (spelled properly for Buffalo Phil ).

Its *inhabits* not *inhibits*, I doubt that quad could stop a moat from doing anything

[Bluewarrior7]

I stand corrected.

The RM 250 is a pretty good bike. its comparable to all the other 250's, the KX, CR, and YZ. This is a 2-stroke we are talking about right. Its not an RMZ 250, which would be the 4-stroke.

Yeah Armand this is the 2 stroker...looking at an even trade for the KFX I recently posted here...u still ride?

[netrachamp1853]

Of course I still ride haha..never gonna stop.

Rm250s are good bikes but in general 2 strokes and premix are things of the past.

RM's I never had any good luck with back in the bay, also they were quite sluggish when the powerband hit. My KX250 was a BEAST! and my YZ ripped as well. If I were to trade 4 wheels for 2 I would go with a 4stroke, ALOT less maintantance.

This maybe true in the motocross and supercross world but in the offroad world like national harescrambles, GNCC's, WORCS, NETRA here in new england, world enduro, ISDE (international six days enduro), and other huge offroad events like Romaniacs, endurocross, and whatever that huge event that is sponsored by Red Bull. 2 strokes are still very well in use and in most cases still rain supreme they arent going anywhere for quite some time. Not to mention the drastic price drop in maintance compared to 4-strokes.

This amused me to the point of almost laugh.

This gave me the visual that pushed me over the brink into full laugh, right as I took a sip of milk.... Thanks Dillon for helping me spray a nice even coat of milk onto my screen!

How do you figure?

The new 4 strokes require more maintenance.. technically your supposed to adjust the valves often which no one does and then you see them beging to start like shit..

[Schickos881]

When i was riding RM125s i would have to do a piston every 8-10 hours and a bottom end about 3 times a year. On my kxf250 i would have to adjust the valves maybe 2 times a year, get a whole year out of a top end , and 2 years out of a bottom end. The prices end up in the same area, depending on bike and how you ride. The four strokes are just so easy to ride and require alot less skill to go fast, to maintain the average four stroke is fairly simple- change the oil and air filters every 3 rides and they will run forever. But what do you want this bike for mx, sx, enduros, or just messing around?
