Thanks KIWI
Back on topic. Skidmark, first off and this is something I should have made alot clearer alot sooner: You're not a pussy as I believe you put it. Transitioning from a 250F to a 250 is a HUGE change.
If you're serious about finishing high but aren't sweet with the repair bill that comes with a 250F, my advice is to buy a 125. Any experienced rider on here will tell you a 125 is the most phenomenal skill building dirt bike, challenged by the 85 though, granted. I went straight from a 250F to a 250 because I really needed to make my engine last. Which I couldn't do if I was wringing the bikes neck all the time, as fun as that does sound
Now I'm not saying race the 125, not against 250Fs. I'm saying use it on practise days. Alot. And still alot more. After you've done that go out and use it alot more
THEN hop back onto your 250. With any luck, you will be hugely better. A 125 is a great bike to get back into riding the 2 strokes with. Who knows you might even have a real connection with a 125 and decide to race it. Either way, it will make you better.
Thanks my advice. Good luck mate. Its always inspiring to see a machine ring ding and zing its way over the chequered flag. Damn I really can't spell that word today
