My little 65 has got me an itch to try a 2t big bike. On paper they seem fantastic...

Cheaper MSRP by $2000(on new)
Cheaper to maintain
Almost equal power to 450s
Lighter weight than the lightest 250F
2ts are allowed in ALL big bike classes in amateur racing(unless 4t only class)

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut...

I have missed more shifts on that bike and mis-timed the "hit" of the power band on both turns and jumps, and when we're talking 50+ft tables/doubles, whoops and turns that could mean a 5 rider pile up, the risk becomes ALOT greater than on a bike designed for a 9yo.
