We do know about this machine and trust me, it is a turd. And you are right. It is stupid to compare it to a 125, as we should be comparing it to a 150. I would like Motocross Action magazine to do a 150cc shoutout, that would be much smarter!
Is a 2010 rm-z250 current? We also have a 2006 and 2007 rm125 and a 2006 rm250. And I am here to tell you that our 2006 rm250 flat out destroys our 2010 rmz.
Now here I am on this site telling everyone that I caved and bought the boy the new rmz he's been beggin for. Why? Because this 15 year old kid has been lining up on the gate, typically being the only 2 smoker and on a 4 year old bike to boot. How does it effect the mental game, when the guy next to you is on the newest, badest four stroke around? And how many people know that factory teams won't give you the time of day if you're on a two stroke, because you are on a " cheater bike". (as if having a ten hour 4t motor isn't cheating) So, I bought My son the latest and greatest bike to go racing with. It should hold up for a couple of valve adjustments. I also ordered the factory service manual for it. That manual is ten times thicker than the one for the two stroke! What does that tell you? It's already a time bomb.
When people walk up to him and ask about the 2010 rmz, his response is "it's pretty fun". When they ask about the 250 2t, his resposes are: "it's amazing, it handles awesome, it's really light, it's really fast. Now I'm looking at a $7,000+ blunder. Well, maybe not. 'cause right now the bike is with my son's friend and heading to Ponca and then Lorretta's. You see his 2009 2504t has blown up and after $1,000's, it still won't start. So the night before he has to leave for these national events, he has to borrow our four broke.
So this is why some of us are so serious on this site. It has gotten to where the average kid cannot afford to play. And they are all brainwashed into it. My son's friend was telling us how great the four strokes are, at the same moment that he was over to borrow ours!
P.S.: After my son raced the rmz in moto 1, he parked it and grabbed the 2 stroke for motto 2. He came back all smiles and started beggin fo another 06 rm250 2 smoker!
P.S.S.: Thanks to all the normal two stroke lovers on this site. When I get all bent outa shape on this crap you guys put some humor into it and it calms me right down!
