  • Beautiful Pala, California midweek motos on a new Suzuki RM-Z250. Great bike and fun track layout before the Loretta Lynn qualifiers. Lots of people like to base their opinions of Suzuki on shootout results and the fact they are the only current MX manufacturer with kickstart four strokes, but this "little" bike works quite well! You simply haven't lived till you're screaming a bike for everything it has, and the RM-Z250 only rewards you for doing so; no punishment when things get a little out of control, like on some bikes. Basically the 250F version of a Fun25 two stroke, and the handling/turning is amazing...Once you soften up the forks!

    10th time watching this because it's the only Rmz 250 1st person video on RUclips. I am debating buying one and a bit on the nervous side because
    I'm coming of a 450 and every thing is super easy to clear. I have rode both fox and perris.
    "'When you were hitting the 90 at perris or the stepUp here at fox was there much room for Error? What I
    meant by that question was if you lost speed in the corner would the Rmz still get you over the bigger
    jumps.
    I would appreciate your take on it.

      Good question, and I'll give you my most honest answer. The RM-Z250 is an extremely fun bike to ride, but people often forget that 250F's replaced the Fun25 two strokes. On the 2T's you had to double down shift when mistakes were made, but on the 250F's it's typically only one downshift to get spinning again. For perspective, on the 450's it's just a flick of the clutch to get going again. The RM-Z rewards hitting precise shift points and carrying momentum, so jumps you can get away with on the 450 simply aren't as easy to hit consistently on the 250F's. More noticeable on bigger jumps and loamy prep days, but noticeable nonetheless.
      For reference, the 90' at Perris is currently 2nd gear on my 450 from the inside (and then shift 3rd in the air), and I have not ridden one 250F that can pull that same line. At 185lbs in the birthday suit, it's a 3rd gear outside section for me on all the 250F's. Not trying to dissuade you from getting the RM-Z250, because it really is a solid, economical, and well suspended KYB-equipped bike for certain riders like myself, but you will be working harder than on your 450. Sometimes, however, that's half the fun of it. Cheers

    Like that rmz. Always wanted 450 but lately I'm thinking a 250 might be better. Only ride occasionally now and although my last mx bike was a cr500, I only weigh 140, so I'm thinking the 250 may be more enjoyable. But for sure will have to drop the spring rate at least 2 sizes

    For a weekend warrior riding tracks but not racing, is there better bang for your buck than an RMZ250?

    • @CasMoto
      @CasMoto  Год назад +4

      Not even close. And if you're 180-220lbs which shouldn't require a re-spring, it's an even better deal!

    you think this bike would struggle pulling around 210lb rider on the main tracks out here. only ridden a 250 once at perris

      Honestly, there are a few "depends": Depends what your current bike is, depends on the skill level, depends how much shifting you're up for...A couple things I know for certain: It would probably be the BEST stock suspension you've ever ridden, and it's a blast riding at 100% to get the most out of it. At 185lbs, it's still stiff for me; guessing 200-230lbs is closer to ideal weight with the KYB suspenders, which is unique in the 250F range. Cheers

      @@TrevorJones418 Gotcha' - In that case for a back-up/play-bike, the RM-Z isn't a bad option at all. Best looking bike around once you throw some proper small-bore black backgrounds and some Excel yellow hoops on her. But in all honesty, riding one would be more work than your Husqvarna 350, it's significantly slower, and only handles about as good or just slightly better. However, the suspension will be amazing, practically like KYB spring conversion would be in your Austrian ride. As a two smoke guy, sounds like a 19'-22' KTM 150SX would be right up your alley! Haha enjoy that MC 450F and best of luck whichever route you choose to go, small-bore 2T or 4T 👍
