Hey guys, i don't know how many of you switch off between bike sizes but I'm thinking that i need to run something smaller. I started on the 99 WR400 that i still have and then bumped up to the 07 WR450 that i sold after 3 years. A while back when i still had the 07 i hopped on a buddies ktm 250f and made a few laps at the mx track, when i got back on my 450 i noticed i was a lot faster because i was on the throttle more like with the 250. I'm racing the Grand Prix series next year and will probably be on the 99 but do you guys think that starting over again on a smaller bike 250/250f would make me a better racer with a bigger bike later on?
the feeling of going fast...

Theres a few out there at the races for sale... i'm looking old school still though in the $2k range. The only 2T i've ridden for more than a mile is was a kx500 and i couldn't stand not having compression braking but then again entering corners is my #1 down fall. Always afraid to blow through the bermI think you should go with the 300 like you had mentioned a while back. It will put you in between the 250 and 450 and make you an even BETTER rider
Back in the day when I was a competitive trail rider (
), started out on a CR500 for a few years. I found that I eventually peaked and was looking to improve my skills to allow me to go faster. With that, I dropped to a 250 and found that I was much faster as I could hang it out longer and throw it around more. I go to a point where I had peaked again and was getting smoked across the valleys by 500s. I than jumped back up to the 500 and noticed that I kept the improvements I gained on the 250 and carried that to the 500, but now I was making the passes on the open sections or not getting passed. I currently have 3 different size bikes to jump back and forth on (250 2T, 450 & Modded TTR) and I find I have a great time jumping back on the 250 2T as I can ring that thing out.
Hope this helps..

back in my day I rode a XR80, now I ride a RM250 and I find that I am about the same speed. I think it has to with the amount of balls you have between your legs that drives the speed you want to go
