I'm considering buying a new (2016 or 2017) 250f in the spring. I grew up racing from 8yo until 16yo, and recently started riding again on a yz125. The 125 is a blast and will probably always keep it around for when I get the urge but I want something modern. I would say at the moment I'm probably a good C class rider. I'm also 29yo now so I'm just in it for fun and not out there putting in Motos trying to get lap times down. So with that said, I've only ever ridden 2 strokes, so from those of you that have ridden both for a period of time, what are some things I would initially notice different once I jump on the 4 stroke? Is there a big difference? Anything that is going to be annoying getting used to? Really just curious what you all think.
That being said, you do need to try a bike before you buy it. Fourstrokes seem to really exaggerate any flaws in the chassis unlike two strokes, by that I mean I love riding my mates 14 250sx but when I bought a 13 250sxf I couldn't stand the thing, used to just want to stand up every time you gave it throttle when turning. RMZ's handle brilliantly and my 16 CRF does but you should definitely find someone with whatever bike you're fancying before you buy one.
Other than that good luck finding yourself a nice bike, there are some good deals to be had if you search hard enough.
