UPDATE... Well I tried...
I'm disappointed to say he bought an 07 YZF 250.
I tried to explain the issues, but in the end he wanted a stroker... Sorry guys I tried but some people have to learn the hard way...
I did take it for a spin up and down the road... this was my 1st ride on a 250F... I was not impressed. I like a little kick in the pants when a smoker hits the powerband.. Yes the power is smooth, but to me boring.
Oh well to each his own. I'll stay on a smoker.
