Bought it from a guy who "raced it". Its sweet and looks like a race bike but not sure if I believe the guy.
Bike Specs
2007 Honda CRF230F
Bored to a 250
BBR exhaust system
Cam breather
Red, Renthal 62 tooth rear sprocket
16 tooth front sprocket
428 Krause chain
Suspension is stock I believe (showa brand)
18 inch rear tire
21 inch front tire
Gold Pro Taper Conture handle bars
Red brake and clutch levers
The bike rips and rides very well, I am only worried about jumping. I ride this bike everyday on trails and want to get started on the track. Will I be alright to race on the weekends? Also if I upgrade the forks and rear shock will this bike be competitive?

After teaching me how to ride and doing trails for about a year we ventured to motocross tracks and I learned how to ride a track on my xr80 before graduating to a kx80. I remember watching my old man tear up the B practice on his XR passing a lot of people on real race bikes (which were really cool to me at the time being so young and new to it). I was amazed. The old man had skills! He later bought a YZ400.
The point is, I'm speaking from experience. Some people look down at people who show up to a track on anything less than the latest and greatest. And to be honest I was probably one of those people when I was a prick 17 year old kid. But I embrace and encourage any person looking to ride motocross now. Whether the bike is 3 days or 30 years old, whether it's got A-kit suspension or a headlight and a fanny pack, the more people at the track the better.
The Shop
I have a klx 140 as a play bike that I've absolutely abused the crap out of. No broken frame. No death. In fact the only bike I've broken a frame on was a kx85 when I was a kid after casing a big double.
Ps my imagination thinks your a dick!!
Pit Row
Imo just ride the bike until your skill supasses what the bike can safely do. You'll know when you've hit that point, and it shouldn't take long. Then you can either back it off to save the bike or buy an mx'er. Don't mod the 230 for moto imo. Stfu.
