  • 09 KX 250F
    By  (I am an Owner) on Mar 16, 2009

    I got the 09 KX 250F back in November of 08, I bought the first one that came to Oregon. I have ridden KX's all my life. I was a Two stroke man all the way. I have ridden the 05' and 08' KX 250F's as well as the 07' KX 450F and the 03 YZ 250F, and was happy with my 04 KX 250. But after a mud race ...

    Now after riding the 05' and 08' KX 250F I was not really happy about the power loss I was going to have to deal with. After the break in period I was out for my first ride. The first thing I found is that there was a lot more power then the other 250F's I had ridden. I was impressed. After riding it for about 30 minutes I found that not only did it have the power I wanted it also cornered better then any bike I had ever ridden. I also found that the suspension was spot on for me. I am 5'9" and 170 pounds and an intermediate MX rider. From the first time I put my leg over the 09 KX 250F I am happy I bought it. I am so pleased with the power, suspension, handling, the ergos, and most of all the track-ability. It is still not a two strokes but I will take it 9 times out of 10. The only time I bring out my two stroke now is in the sand. The KX 250F is the best bike I have ever ridden ever.
