Bit hard for a 250. I'm from the day of the old 480 CR's and it was tough on them. ( I assume you mean and two-stroke? )
Many years they ran CR500s ( Two-strokes ) and they were the only thing. But the bigger 4 strokes cope with it. ( anything above 450 )
I used to was always was gunna do it ..... life gets in the way ... never did .... and now I'd die if I tried LOL.

Price rolled his ute (this is Oz, it aint a bloody truck) in practice, patched it together and I have heard he finished top 5 on day 1 whilst leading the bloody bikes
SPOLIER ALERT --- Update
He is an animal
Wins the bikes by 3 minutes (special mention to Bourke Local Tye Simmonds for second)

And 2nd overall in the cars

How are the times.
Just over a minute difference in the overall for Price in the bike (3:46:55 total) and car (3:45:40)

Mate of mine did the Finke years and years back. Pretty sure it was on an XR400. He bought a KTM 200 EXC (?) but life (kiddo) got in the way of him competing again. Now he just sponsors riders
