Private MX track is good for me. I take a while to learn the course and get comfortable, slowly building up the pace. This place I went to was a practice day for the following day's race, so people there knew what they were doing, and were way beyond my ability.

I don't have too much to compare it to, or many trails to ride on, but the 250r is a great bike. It has plenty of torque down low, but does need to be revved up to take advantage of all the power. I think it redlines at 13k rpm, which is astounding for a single cylinder 4-stroke. It is geared pretty low, with a very close ratio transmission. No e-start, but it fires up on the first or second kick every time. It is also quite tall, or feels that way. But it is very light and easy to throw around.
