my next bike....i need opinions

If you rode a 250 smoker it would be a different story. they can be screamers like your bike, or you can tune them to be mellow like a 4t. 125s are always screamers cause they have to be tuned to keep up with 250fs. technically they could be mellow but than they'd be too weak to keep up with 250fs... but some people detune(or really just change the powerband/widen it) for woods riding.

That sounds legit but that doesn't give me a reason to want to ride a 2stroke in the woods

Do you ride woods?

dude, you have no idea.

Smokers rule the woods, why do you think some of the biggest part of KTM's sales are woods smokers?

for the average joe they rule, thats for sure. Enduro pros is about 50/50, and works, mostly 4t..

Ahh you bring out another myth. Guess what? factory riders will ride what the bike maker gives them, and obviously, especially for the big 4, that's a 4poke.

Works is more motocross style, the "f's" do better with their superb traction, don't see many riders on 2t's there, factory or not.

yea that's true but ktm 2t woods bikes usually have better low end torque than a regular 2t

yea if u can ride a 500 2 stroke u can handle a 450

you mean a woods bike has more bottom end than a mxer?
