pulls hard in the middle and has
tons of over rev. And what's not to
love about its inspiring two-stroke
sound and that sweet smell of
spent premix?
Like the TE125, the TC250
feels light and nimble and is easy
to throw around. It also handles
well and, despite having zero time
to make suspension changes,
soaked up the bumps quite well.
As expected, it doesn't feel quite
as plush as the four-strokes, but
the TC's suspension certainly
gets the job done.
Without question, I had the
most fun on the TC250 on the
moto track.
FC250
The four-stroke version of the
TC250—the FC250—is pretty
damn impressive, too. With its
13.9:1 high-compression engine
pumping out 44 horsepower with
a 14k rev limit, this bike also rips.
It's a fire-breathing four-stroke
that likes to be revved out just like
the two-strokes.
This lightweight, solid-handling
and super-powerful machine will
give all of the Japanese 250Fs
fits next year, without question
