Awesome terrain! Looks so similar to what we ride here in Oregon. Bike sounds great! What differences do you notice between this one and your last 250xcf? I bought another YZ250FX this summer. Absolutely love these modern 250F's today. Fun woods bike's
Ya, very much like your stuff.... Except inland a ways!!! So I have four hours and what I've noticed so far is that it isn't as good sitting down. That 20 could thread through the trees sitting down like nobody's business!!! Believe it or not there have been a few times when I hit rock or log combo's where I've "braced for impact" but the new one seems to deal with it better, like where on the old one, if the rear is doing "x" it will make the front do "y". I haven't quite figured it out yet but if it's the new frame it's really noticable for the good. It also seems to have a touch more torque down low and is easier on the steep stuff when you are really slow. The start button sucks... I'm trying different positions to see what works best. I haven't been able to "teach" it the quick shift baseline yet, so haven't been able to try it. One more try and I'll take it back to the dealership to sort out.
Looks like a great place to ride. I have the same bike…love it. I think KTM hit a home run with these 23 xc-f bikes.
Ya, I'm super excited about the bike!

The 250 xcf doesn't have the quickshift. Great bike though I love mine.
I can handle your riding
250 seems like it struggles in the tight stuff. She definitely sings tho. Looks like a better single track bike for a newbie more than anything else.
Actually it's better in the single-track than the 350 or 300, but you have to know how to ride...
