So then would parts from a 250R and 250X be interchangeable? Way I figure if I could find a good deal on a 250R I can just get wheels afterwards.

Other then that I guess I will be on the lookout for a 250x.


George, from the research I have done it seems that a 450 would be way too much work to own as far as maintenance goes. I plan to use this bike to get to work and home and then take it out to lots and stunt there for most part. Some wheelies on the streets but I don't care to try to pop wheelies at 100mph.

stunt parts would all fit the R just the same as the X, go for an X it'll save you money in the longrun unless you want dirt wheels to swap out to trail ride hardcore, some may trade there x stuff for r stuff but id just go with an X from the start, it'll be cleaner cuz you know its been mainly street riden. 250 is perfect for the lots and will do fine on the streets, with the right setup itll rip up in 4th and teach you to stay at bp cuz if you fall out of it you wont have enough ass to bring it back up but mine would lift in 3rd easy and 4th with a good clutch tug. if you love the supermoto side of things you will want a 450 before long but if your learning a 250 will teach you a lot.
