Is it a trail bike, dual sport, a motocrosser or a cross country racer? Doug will be happy to let us know as he gets up close and personal with his new toy.

The story of the 250FX

Here I am big grin and all, with the brand new 2015 Yamaha 250FX. For those of you who may not be familiar with this new bike it’s basically a 250F MX, but has a six speed gear box, electric start, 18” rear wheel and kick stand. This bike is supposed to challenge the KTM’s, we’ll see.

I wanted a new challenge; I’ve had four great years worth of fun and tinkering on my 2011 KTM 350/390 SX. I still liked the 350/390 and at this point don’t know if this new bike is going to be better or not. But I’m going to find out and like I did with the 350 I’m going to report on it here on this web site.

I’ve ordered a lot of trick stuff for it that will be trickling in over the next month and my plan is to share what and why I’m putting on a particular part and the expectations for doing it.

So stay tuned.
