I can't believe nobody noticed it said yz250f , so it really has the engine of a 125.
Or that it DOESN'T have a powerband because it's a FOUR STROKE!!!
Well not as much anyways... 2 strokes get there powerband when the accumulator in the exhaust has the right amount of backpressure for the given RPM's...
Ex, my cousins little 50 is dead to about 2/5 redline, when it hits 3/5 redline, hold on or you're flying off the back...

I'm no moto expert, but as far as I know, a 250 F is comparable to a 125 in power, and that's the only similarity.

that's what i was saying.

oh yeah anybody have any idea where you could ride something like that other than a motocross track? obviously they're not street legal but they're way bigger than any motorized scooter, plus i doubt dirtjumping would last long on that thing what with the noise complaints

I've been wondering when a motorcycle company would make a dirt jump specific motorcycle. Pretty damn cool

...
250 4 stroke has a much wider power band than a 125 2 stroke. I can't ride my 125 unless it's above 1/2 throttle. I pretty much ride it 3/4 throttle to WFO because it has nothing under that. The 250F on the other hand pulls from 1/4 throttle up. 4 strokes are so much easier to ride. I'm constantly having to change gears because my powerband is so narrow. I hate to say it but I'll probably be getting a 4 stroke in years to come.

Yeah, I realize that, however it seems most of the guys that actually jump and ride freestyle motocross modify their bikes a bit to make them more huckable. A bike bought stright off the dealership floor might be used for trail riding, racing, or anything else. Seeing a bike with pegs, and the ability to do barspins could do nothing but progress freestyle motocross
