Hi all - I was hoping a Front Range dealer would do a ‘demo day’ somewhere, but I have yet to see that. If anyone here has a 250 - 350 2 stroke AND will be at IMI at some point, will gladly trade a Costco hot dog (kidding!) and/or pay for a few laps! I have time on a CRF 450 RL and my current FE 350S, but want to try a 250 2 stroke! Thanks for reading!
We’ve talked about having a Bike Slut Day at IMI sometime this winter: bring your bike(s) and let others ride her like the dirty slut she is…
So a fun opportunity to test ride many options.
That’d be cool!
MotoAdventure in Loveland has a Beta Demo Day on Feb 7. I think it will be at IMI. They usually have a 200, 250 and 300 RR Pro/RR Race and will likely have the new 350 RX 2 stroke as well.
I’d let you ride my TM EN300 if you wanted, but that is probably not a bike you’d actually consider buying. Are you looking to add a dedicated single track enduro bike to your stable? If you have mostly ridden 4-stroke DS bikes I’d think you’d be happier with a 300 than a 250 2 stroke. A 300 has more torque and a smoother power curve. The 250s have less torque off the bottom but have a stronger hit in the upper mid and rev out farther.
Sweet, thank you for the info regarding 2/7! Yes, looking for that single track enduro arrow! The 4 stroke DS bikes are good but I keep thinking “man, a 2 stroke in this tight, slow stuff would be sick!” Think like Butterknife or Windmill out in GJ. Thanks again for the reply!
A 2-stroke 300 is pretty awesome for tight CO singletrack. I like to have at least one 250 or 300 in the stable at all times.
I’m eagerly awaiting the Kawasaki press release for what I am hoping will be a new KDX300 it’s been almost a year since they announced they were working on a new 2-stroke.
Beta demo: check their website. They had EVERYTHING when I went; hence why I ended up with a 300RR Race! 125, 200, 250, 300 2T: 360/390/430/480/500 race and RR.
You’ll want one, belive me
