I'm going to do an AF,,,but my guess is the most durable is the later SFs 05-07.

which one of the conversions do you think would run faster? (as if in a straight line race)

The one with the fastest engine  :|
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

If you drop them both out of the back of a airplane at exactly the same time they should hit the ground at about the same time  :-D

But if you want to know which is the fastest in a straight horizontal line with perfect traction with equally skilled riders....

Ive been riding my 04 KX250/500 SF for about 2 years now with only 2 issues. I sucked a reed while using a V Force 2 and had a coil fail. Other than that its been stone reliable. Its purely a woods bike with no MX. It should get its first racing debut either at the River Ranch GNCC or the Alligator enduro during Bike Week. Im entered in the Alligator on the 500 but will be bringing a KX250 backup bike.
A couple of 03 and 04 KXs, a few YZs, 3 PE 400s, a DR and a TS.

Hey Flyin  Maybe I meant '04-07. Anyway the later steel frames are the shoot.
