250sx and 250es

[biggsauce]

Hey yall I have a question.

What is the difference between an sx and an es? Is it just the racks? I read that the sx is about 50lbs lighter, and I figure the racks gotta weigh more than that right? We went riding this weekend and was running circles around the quads in the mud and deeper water on my 250es and I'm looking at buying a '85 250sx with the intent of it being a little "spunkier":p because of the displacement/weight ratio.

Basicall I think that the rear differential is gear for a bit more speed and the wheels are smaller.

frame is smaller, better forks on the SX.

engine is the same, but the frame and exhaust, forks are different

Alot will swap but other than the engine very little is the same.
