I am really starting to believe a top pro on a updated works 250 would have a shot in the 450 class for motocross. Super cross would be a bit tougher with the way the tracks are setup without a little added displacement but motocross it seems completely feasible. The top 250f guys times are close to the 450 times and a 250 2t set up to race could easily pump out 15 more hp and 12 more lbs of tq than a 250f while being 10 lbs lighter. It could also sacrifice a bit of peak power and have a power curve that could give the thumper a run for its money in tractability while still being up 10 total hp most of the way. If they did ever give the 250 injection and get it set up right I would not doubt a 56-58hp 250 with an extremely long piston life. It should bring its efficiency up quite a bit and show some impressive gains.
