About The Rider
James Cirrone is 16 years old and is racing his 2nd season on 250fs. James like most every racer started racing on a PW-50, he was taught by his older brothers who raced at the time in the 125 class . In 2003 he moved up to his KTM 50sx where he raced at local New England tracks, some of which he still races today. After a few years his brothers who went racing with him decided it was time to stop racing Motocross, James would do the same. In 2010, James bought a YZ 125, which learned how to ride a big bike and returned to a local track in the fall for an open practice and decided it was time to return to racing dirt bikes. In 2011, he purchased a late model 250F and began racing. In 2012 James navigated his current bike, a 2009 KX 250f, to top 5s and podium finishes. After a year together, there were evident problems with bike setup, thanks to some great sponsors like Factory Connection, Ride Engineering, ProTaper, and the rest of the companies supporting James he was able to fix some chassis and suspension issues that he suffered from in previous years. In 2013 James is looking to build off of 2012's success.

About The Machine
For 2012 and 2013 James is riding a 2009 KX250f, for 2013 Vertex Pistons is making the power. Ride Engineering's lowering link is on to give the bike more stability and allow the rear wheel to hook up better due to the 'over the front' riding style James has. Factory Connection revalved the fork and shock for maximum performance on all terrains. Maxima Oils has everything lubed on the bike and keeps the bike like new. Acerbis plastics and Factory Backing graphics really make the bike stick out as one of the nicest looking bikes on the track. James maintains the bike every week and everything on the bike is checked and gone through before race day. View the Sponsors page to find out where to buy the same parts that James runs on his bike!
