I'm sorry, I can't bite my tongue any longer. This is straight up the worst idea I've seen on here in a long time. No offense D, but you will not grow into a bike like this. It will scare you right out of dirt riding. Starting on pavement on a big bike is one thing. It's all relatively smooth and predictable and the bikes make smooth power.
This 250 class of bike has the most violent acceleration available. Pair it with inexperience in the rooty, rocky, snotty woods on NE and you have a disaster waiting to happen. CAN you survive it? yes, will you? not likely without getting hurt. Will it make you a better rider? I'm betting my house against it.
I can't believe any of you guys are getting behind this. Get a 250FFFFFFFF PLEASE
