Wtth the KX250 Chad rode at the opening ceremonies at the Atlanta supercross that raging on at almost 250K on ebay, now we enter a bike James Stewart spent some time on that's on ebay as well (see below link). I can say that it appears James did own this bike and spent some time on it (the owner has a title that looks to have James' name on it)…will these two guys ever stop feuding….

"This bike is not for the (sic) feint of heart. The bike has 345ccs of pure power."

345? Whaaaa?

Also, the money's not going to charity.

Where and when exactly did James Stewart race a YZ 250 two stroke?

That ad is all kinds of weird. Almost looks like 2 different bikes (assuming it isn't). Also, you realize the KX isn't actually going to be sold for that amount right? It's basically being bid up because it's funny at this point.

ESR (eddie sanders racing) sells a big bore kit in 325 and 345 for the late model yz's

they are still going strong.
putting one on my 500AF, looks cooler than a PWK, Kevin @ Lectron is a cool guy, performance wise they are easier to tune, and on the dyno looks to make just as much if not more than a PWK. esp in anything needing more mid to top.

Yeah, sorry...I don't get that kind of humor.

Different bars, different front rotor, different clutch cover, different suspension, no pictures of thew new used blue plastic, bald tires. Maybe the same bike but it's been used a lot since then...

Actually James did own a YZ250 2 stroke (I think Joe Gibbs racing gave it to him when he raced for them). Anyway, I don't know that he raced it per say, but he did ride the wheels off it, check out the below video. However, I also doubt James ever rode this bike with a 345cc motor as I have seen two videos of him on a YZ250 and in both the bike looks stock, but there is not denying the James Stewart Enterprise on the title as he uses it to open his videos..

I'm sure James would appreciate his address being published like that.

Nothing a google search won't uncover. I'm sure you've google mapped his track before?

Bit different giving the actual address so plainly right?

I've seen RC's on Google earth, Ferry's and Dade City are close and Chad's from the go-kart fiasco... But again, looking from google earth and handing out addresses? Come on guy.

You don't actually believe that it's really $260,000 right?!
People are messing with the seller because Chad talked about what the guy did.
Chads actual race CRF450 only sold for around 18,000 a couple years ago and RC's RMZ from Lorettas $17,000+.
There is no way anyone is paying more than $3000. For this old 2stroke piece of shit.

I don't think he ever raced it. He used to have "Ride Days" out in Cali where he would show up and ride with the fans, and I think he usually did it on the YZ250.
