Bike Reviews
Multiple World Motocross Champion Mickael Pichon was impressed with his recent test of the new Suzuki RM-Z250 four-stroke motocross machine at England's Canada Heights circuit.
"The whole bike feels good. The engine is comparable to a 125 two-stroke but I feel there is much more power and especially more torque. It's unbelievable how fast you can turn and the traction is always there," said the 2001 and 2002 World Motocross Champion.

From nikki who posted at thumpertalk.com '03 YZ250F - first/second ride reports
I picked up an '03 YZ 250F a week and a half ago. Here are ride reports from my first and second rides:
FIRST RIDE - last Sunday:
I took my new F out to a buddy's practice track this morning. Track was sandy/loamy and pretty wide open. Not too much for jumps. Temperature was around 40 degrees.

It doesn't sound like a WR 250F killer, more a competitor in between the new generation Yamaha & Honda 250 four strokes, and the old generation XR, DRZ, TTR etc four strokes.
