You think a 1000cc sport bike can loop out easy with too much throttle? Let me be the first to tell you that this damn dirt bike will put you on your ass quicker than you can think to pull in the clutch. :o This thing puts down like 50 something horsepower and doesn't weigh shit! :eek:

I don't know an exact dollar amount but I think they make about $15 an hour on regular clock time.

Kawasaki is coming out with the KX450F later on for '06 so that is going to be a hell of a ride too. If I get to test one out, I'll be sure to post up. ;)

If you think that 250F has some power wait till you ride the 450F. Just put it in 2nd lean over the bars and dump the clutch, you won't go back I promise!! That will be a badass ride. Grow a sack!

How does the 250f make 50 hp? That means the big bike would have to put down around 90 and I don't think they do. :cool:

I highly doubt the are getting 50hp out of a 250cc motor. The two stroke 250cc engines did that or close to it. But then again they could be i dunno.

I haven't actually seen it in writing that they are putting down 50hp but a couple MX'ers in my shop claim it. If I see it somewhere in writing, I will copy/paste the info. or post a link.

youre smoking crack if you think that this bike is putting down 50hp! my ported cammed exhaust crf450 only makes 55hp and it is a beast! this 250 may make 35 at most.
