but when a pro rides a 250 2t its no comparison, its out right slaughter.
Rubbish.
The lap times between 250F's, 250 smokers & 450's is not that great a gap.
When DK won the NZ Lites championship this year on a YZ250 he did not slaughter the opposition.
He had some 1st,2nd,3rd & 4ths etc.
He was racing some fast Aussies on factory bikes. His YZ had a Pro-Circuit engine & was Ohlined up.
It showed that a worked 250 of both types were competitive.
The bikes were very even on the track.
It's time for 250cc to mean 250cc again.
