Nice 250r. I have never ridden a 2 stroke before and i always hear people talking about the powerband on them. Does the powerband really hit that hard? Just wondering.
It depends on the ride, the work done to it, and the experience of the rider on a 2-stroke machine (once you know how it is when a strong powerband kicks in, you can ride a 250r, banshee, quadzilla if you wanted, you just have to get a feel for that machine inparticular)
But yea, going from a 350 4stroke, to a 250 2stroke can be a completely different animal. Especially if you try to ride the same trails/hill climbs the same way.
-- Perfect Example: My friend Sean, he has a 400ex, with some minor work done to it, pipe, intake, such and such. So we were out riding, and a friend wanted to try his quad out. So after a few minutes of convincing my Sean to jump on our friend Jay's banshee (with quite a few $$$ into it), we were all waiting around as he was putting around saying ohh this isn't so bad. What's the big thing about 2 strokes, yada yada yada... So Jay ask's Sean to try and race him, They line up, i drop my arm, and they both go, Jay goes forward, Sean goes onto his back after about 15-20 feet. He got up shaking his head, going. "Oh, that's what they mean". We all damn near died from laughing so hard.
