idk why but it’s something about the 03s that just make them unique from any other year they feel like there faster and lighter not to mention one of the best looking bikes out there 250 2t 03 rider as well😎
Everyone let’s take some time to appreciate both these beautiful bikes. Btw this comment section is not very toxic surprisingly and it’s good people aren’t going on about 450 better or 250 better
I can’t decide which one I like more so I have two 450s and a 250 2stroke… only logical option haha Can’t beat the two-stroke no doubt about that but there’s just something about the convenience of pulling up to a pump and topping off the tank and driving away that has a great ring to it lol
BassinBraden I agree but the 450 is still hands down faster... I’ve had both and like 2 strokes better but the 450 faster in most situations it’s just like you get the power faster but don’t seem nearly as fun to ride... I bought a 450 and instantly got 10 years older 😂
Fantastic comparison video! Loved it! I used to have a 2001 KDX 200 and man the sound of this 250 takes me back. Looking at a 2013 kx 450f now. Thoughts?
250 was so much faster.. didnt help that launch system in my 450.. would be faster with fmf pipe or something i think.. get a 2012. They are better Imo or get brand new
I love my 98 kx250. I just hate working on it once every other week while my friends on their four strokes just clean there air filters and change their oil lol
No 250 2stroke puts out over 55 hp stock, the kx450f’s are monsters, 10-13 all put out over 53-54 hp 12-55.8 and 13-55.2. This has been verified by many tests. Dirt wheels, moto cross magazine, trans world motocross you name it! No stock 250 2 stroke does that, maybe 45-48. On pavement with both good riders the 450 would pull the 250x ask me how I know? Oh, cuz I have a 97 kx250 and a 14 kx450f and I love both of my bikes.
I have a question for you since you have both. I can’t decide what I want still just yet. I love the powerband of the 2 stroke because of that acceleration rush. But how good are the 2 strokes cruising a bit. I don’t do tons but some. And do the 250s really as have much low end as some people say? Thanks!
2 strokes are cool and all but they blow up way too easy for me I guess I've owned 2 2 stroke bikes and they have blowed up on me I switched to a 4 stroke and never had a problem
They blew up because your not mixing oil properly, you should be mixing 32:1 and I recommend Amsoil dominator because my 1998 kx125 has been tortured to this day and haven't changed nothing and the proof for that is I went through 10+ rear tires.
Mix the oil right use good oil and let them warm up they last a very long time ive got a kdx ive had over 15 years passed it down to my son still have not put a top in it
I love 2 strokes because their power is soooo immense and untamed & they’re so loud and smell amazing wen burning gas 🤣🤣🤣 BUTTTT… the fact of the matter is, they break down way too easy, they require a ton more maintenance, and they just aren’t as reliable as a 4stroke. Reliability is big. The only way a 250 is spanking a 450 is if the rider doesn’t know the bike, or the rider simply doesn’t know how to ride.
Clean and clear win for the kx original kx 250 all day long smoke s all 4 strokes just asked the pros and they'll tell you that 4 strokes are for the poor people who can't afford the plugs rings and tune-up and time and seat time to get used to the power and the take off.
Can't beat that old school power im all about that mid 90's early 2000's era of motocross and freestyle and I gotta say I'm not surprised that 03 Kowalski walked that 450 even though that 450 is sick asf too love the retro plastics, but I got a 03 ktm 250 and125sx that would give that kx250 a run for its money lol stay gnarly
That's a fact. My old kx250f smoked every single 250 2 stroke I came across. It wasn't even a competition. Unpopular opinion: most 450's will smoke any 500 two stroke. As long as the rider can put the power down
I think it's hilarious that this 4 stroke vs 2 stroke horse shits going on when 90% of you have probably never been in the power band of a 2 stroke for more than 3 seconds on a ride. 2 strokes lighter, has 30% more power yes. But there is a good reason why most manufacturers are stopping the 2 stroke.
Ya the 4 stroke offers job security for dealer mechanics and once the owner sees the bill it's cheaper to just buy a new bike. Same shit car manufacturer do. You could call it sales security. If the manufactures didnt help ban the 2 stroke in ama. The 4 strokes would not have marketed nearly as well. That being said the 4 stroke offers something the 2t doesn't. And it's a very important part of racing. Its usable power. Linear power. In other words traction. 2 strokes deliver it all at once. Wich makes thier power no matter how much less applicable
Guy on the 450 doesn't know how to ride very well or keep his bike under control. I feel if we had more experienced riders the 450 would win with the 250 close beside it or winning on some runs.
250 2 strokes rev up so quick its hard to outrun one off the line. 1-3 250 2 stroke 4-5 450 more than likely would be the outcome. That surface looks really lose too tho.
side note I'm big into jet skis I ride a modded 96 xp seadoo 800cc 2 stroke. When the carbs are dialed in and its 60-85 degrees out i can run with the new supercharged 300 seadoos. (1600 cc 4 stroke with a supercharger). They will get me on top end but I pull on them all they way to my top speed which is about 63(they run 68). weight is huge factor too considering mine weighs about 400 and a new 300 seadoo weighs around 800.Its still cool to see an older machine run with a 16k new one.
450 eaiser to ride 250 funner to ride....Ok but the 250 is spinning less, get this the 450 has at least 5 more hp also more power and torque everywhere, it weighs maybe 10 lbs more so besides traction issues no 250 is gonna hole shot a newer 2009 and up 450, in a race many 250 racers beat 450 guys, but then again 125 racers beat 250 guys, so just ride both have fun don't get hurt.
Clean and clear win for the kx original kx 250 all day long smoke s all 4 strokes just asked the pros and they'll tell you that 4 strokes are for the poor people who can't afford the plugs rings and tune-up and time and seat time to get used to the power and the take off.
Mixing gas, hauling ass.
Shifting gears, passing queers! 💯
You cannot shake the beautiful vibration, sound, and smell of a 2-Stroke
idk why but it’s something about the 03s that just make them unique from any other year they feel like there faster and lighter not to mention one of the best looking bikes out there
250 2t 03 rider as well😎
That 250 2t echo is the best! Hello from the USA.
Fellow 03 kx250 2t rider😎
same here haha
Same here
Hell Yeah 2003 KX 250 is a Bad Hombre!!!!!
Same here
got same, is it faster than 450?
Braaaaap!!! 😍 2-stroke for life! 👍 They should allow 250 2-strokes to compete with 450 4-strokes.
I think they do
They always did
2 strokes baby. Power and definitely better sound. Miss those days. Had 82 cr125 and 88 cr250. Miss that power band.
This was one of my most anticipated videos
Brutal 2strokes make loads power for size of engines
Everyone let’s take some time to appreciate both these beautiful bikes.
Btw this comment section is not very toxic surprisingly and it’s good people aren’t going on about 450 better or 250 better
Both are good, I say pick whichever one you like best
I can’t decide which one I like more so I have two 450s and a 250 2stroke… only logical option haha
Can’t beat the two-stroke no doubt about that but there’s just something about the convenience of pulling up to a pump and topping off the tank and driving away that has a great ring to it lol
Love those old school graphics
People just don’t want to admit that two strokes are so much better
BassinBraden I agree but the 450 is still hands down faster... I’ve had both and like 2 strokes better but the 450 faster in most situations it’s just like you get the power faster but don’t seem nearly as fun to ride... I bought a 450 and instantly got 10 years older 😂
@@jaredmercer7043 250 2 stroke is more strong and fast
Ur boi actually it’s the other way around
Kx250 all day for me
These 4 stroke engines will never be able to run like a 2 stroke I had both and I loved the 2 stroke way better. #2Stroke4Life🔥
4 stroke better
@@DqtwonI think both are equally awesome 2 strokes are quicker but 4 strokes are faster they both have their pros and cons
I love the sound of the 450
Camera man needs a raise 👌🏽
2 STROKE POWER BABYYYYYYY 😍😍😍😍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Only 4 stroke
So why did kawi stop making the kx original series aka the fastest 2 strokes I've ever ridden.
I got a 250 an 500 the 500 is a beast
Fantastic comparison video! Loved it! I used to have a 2001 KDX 200 and man the sound of this 250 takes me back. Looking at a 2013 kx 450f now. Thoughts?

YUP KX450F engine is bulletproof 😍❤
@@ArmathuX until the valves go. Servicing the 450 will cost you 4 times more than a 250 2 stroke. Love both bikes tho.
This a year later but I got a 99 kx250 and it's my fav, I've road the new bikes and all but I like older bikes more
@@JJsiahMoto i have a 96 cr and the 90s 2s engines are the besst
What all is done to the kx250
ask trxmh (owner of that Kawi)
trxmh what gearing are you running I have a 03 kx250 also running on 110q and some mods
2 stroke wins every time
What sprocket do you have on that kx 250. I have a 14-47 you gears seem long as mine
The rider on the 250 2t is a better rider. I've smoked a cr250 on my kx125 it's all about the rider not the bike. The 450 4t is obviously faster.
Yes 4 strokes Have way more power. All pros race it because its the best
No 250 2stroke puts out over 55 hp stock, the kx450f’s are monsters, 10-13 all put out over 53-54 hp 12-55.8 and 13-55.2. This has been verified by many tests.

I had a 99kx250 and a 13kx450f at the same time and I agree the 450 was a much more powerful bike. The 250 was fun but the 450 is just wicked
Kx 250 delivers about 60
I have a question for you since you have both. I can’t decide what I want still just yet. I love the powerband of the 2 stroke because of that acceleration rush.

My son rides a 450.. I ride kx500.. And i dint pull away to much on him. Its closer than ppl think
Smoker FTW!
Kx250 👍❤️😍😍😍

Or maybe I have a golden kx125 lol.

Love this! I have an 04 kx250, 06 450 and 18 450. Might ask some buddies to help me line them up. Thanks for the idea. 👌🏼
2stroke 💪💪
Riders should have switched bikes . Guy on the 250 was better at hole shots . Then tally the wins.
Clean and clear win for the kx original kx 250 all day long smoke s all 4 strokes just asked the pros and they'll tell you that 4 strokes are for the poor people who can't afford the plugs rings and tune-up and time and seat time to get used to the power and the take off.

Bring them ragady ass European bikes to sput Florida and watch how my kx make lunch ght work out of both of them
@@ArmathuX if u learn how to ride 450 will smoke
I like these vids, but my 09 kx450 kills any 250 I've come across.
Doug Urch thatd bullshit
Sane here i have both and the 450 walks it prett easy
Depends on the rider and gearing. 450 torque definitely spins more.
That's a fact. My old kx250f smoked every single 250 2 stroke I came across. It wasn't even a competition. Unpopular opinion: most 450's will smoke any 500 two stroke. As long as the rider can put the power down
Julian Caslale based off what
I think it's hilarious that this 4 stroke vs 2 stroke horse shits going on when 90% of you have probably never been in the power band of a 2 stroke for more than 3 seconds on a ride.

Amen. 2 strokes were removed because they were able to be fixed by Dad. Mechanic shops were going broke.
Your ass is suppose to always be on the pipe bruh
Two stroke isn’t more powerful than the four stroke
Two stroke ever
Guy on the 450 doesn't know how to ride very well or keep his bike under control. I feel if we had more experienced riders the 450 would win with the 250 close beside it or winning on some runs.
that was just for fun.. riding my kx450 against my bros 250 2t (owned that bike for almost 10 yrs)
ArmathuX Lol that guys tripping, both riders are damn good.
2stoke win ❤👑
Because its faster 🤦♂️
250 2 strokes rev up so quick its hard to outrun one off the line. 1-3 250 2 stroke 4-5 450 more than likely would be the outcome. That surface looks really lose too tho.

Good vid The 450 is hard to handle in This terain
I dont have much experience with 450, sweet bike.. nice for wheelies
ArmathuX does the kx250 feel faster than the 450
Stanislav Eminger so is the 250 2t
KX250 all the way!!
4 stroke for ever😈
Do you still have your 250f?
Yeah👍 little screamer
Kx250 all the way

yep those 250 2 strokes rips
Not to be rood but I was just wondering are you make or female or is it just you and your girlfriend and boyfriend
2 stroke❤😍🚀😈👿
Nah 4 stroke better 👍
I own both bikes and the 2003 250 2 stroke it has 55hp. It pulls harder then a 4 stroke to me

На 450 наездник газ закрывал на переключениях,поэтому и проиграл

2 такта сила!!!
here we go all the butt hurt 450 owners.. face it two strokes are faster
Julian Caslale this a short race two strokes are made for sprints that 450 will shit on it in the long range
Straight Mobbin Not True, 2 strokes take time to get speed and for the power band to kick in
Straight Mobbin how does that make any sense the 250 was still pulling on the 450, if it was a longer drag the 250 would be untouched
Yea they win by a inch lol
Julian Caslale how are they faster if they make less horsepower and torque
Good
My 03 Rm 250 will eat y’all
