OVERALL I think the 2019 KX250 could really do with a starter motor which would then bring it in line with the rest of the market – most other brands have an electric start now on their 250s new, and it becomes a bit of a disadvantage for dead engine starts in Cross Country racing. Overall, the 2019 KX250 is a versatile machine and has a great range of adjustments with four ‘bar mounting positions and two footpeg position adjustments. And with the slim seat/tank interface from the factory it feels great between the legs, and is an awesome machine for climbs and the descents, and handles great in variety of situations. I’d definitely recommend it.
