You can pick up a 250 in pretty good shape with lot's of spares in the $10,000.00 range. They are hard to come by these days. Mine was built by Sandy Noce at Pro6 and it's a very special machine. Lots of kit stuff.
Starting on the track with a 250 would be a big pain in the arse. You would be better off with a 4 stroke. These two strokes need lot's of attention to keep them going fast and well. Jetting, pistons, rings, every year a rebuilt crank etc, etc. A 4 stroke 600 is just gas and go mostly.
In the right hands this 250 is competitive with the 600s. Just not in my hands yet.

It actually isn't very difficult to make bikes look like toys

If you still have the original shot try selecting the bike, then inverting the selection before you apply the selective defocus. It'll make it look more natural by keeping the entire bike in focus
So this is a photoshop trick and not tilt-shift photography?If you still have the original shot try selecting the bike, then inverting the selection before you apply the selective defocus. It'll make it look more natural by keeping the entire bike in focus
It can be done either way; tilt/shift lens or in post. The results tend to be better in post, if you're trying for that "toy" look.

Nope, was done in camera with a Canon 45mm Tilt-Shift lens.

Think it is better with lens. Just need elevation for the shots to give it that diorama look. Photoshop just blurs the background, a proper lens has true bokeh.
I've tried tilt/shift, Lensbaby, etc.. Can't stand them. Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro blurs whatever you want it to. If you look at the shot that I posted, I also blurred the flagpole in the foreground.

We're getting a little off-topic but the key is always elevation so you're always looking down.

Hey, it was just a joke, I did say you were pretty up front about it. There was no intent in making anyone look bad so my apologies if it came out that way
my reply was tongue in cheek as well, no worries! :happy3:
as you can see, she's all fixed up and rolling!
