I have just started riding 250s this summer. The KX250F motor just pulls me straight out of any corner. The torque on the bike felt really good from the exit of the corner to the entrance of the next corner. The bike was a little wide for me as I’m a small rider. It was a little awkward in the air because the heaviness and width. The 270mm front brake rotor stops the bike on a dime. The handlebars on the bike felt narrow and I found it was an odd bend. The grips that come stock are a very hard compound that may cause some blisters. The KX250F rear end felt very tall I needed a box to get on it but when I was riding the bike felt very stable. It was a very fun bike to ride but if it was my bike I would change a few things to fit me as a small guy. But I’m growing.
