MotoUSA’s 2016 250 Motocross Shootout features six machines from six different manufactures. Horsepower is king and the goal of the 250F class is to produce as much of it as possible.

The key to a great dirt bike is how the engine, chassis and suspension all come together. A couple manufactures dropped significant weight on their 2016 250 MX offerings and as with any shootout there can only be one winner, so welcome to the 2016 MotoUSA 250F motocross shootout: http://www.motorcycle-usa.c...
