Donnie Hansen's 1982 Factory Honda RC250. This bike was so far ahead of it's time it wasn't even fair.

RC's last RMZ for the Outdoors...he really "softened" it up and made it "nice".'

I can guarantee you that damn near everyone in here "thinks" they want Chad's or RD's or RV's "Set-Up"; but, you don't. You'll need dental work after -1- lap.

On the other hand: Jimmy MO (motokid40) could proll'y get Chad's bike to work for him.

I'm jus' knowin'...

I rode a SX bike set-up for one of these cats on Memorial Day...it was a stiff-assed Jack-Hammer.

Then rode an MX/Nat's set-up: Still a bit stiff; yet, a bit more compliant. Still, at 190# and an OK rider that's tested this crap since the '80s...it was STIFF.

Then, rode one of my Enzo prepped bikes and it was a work-of-art: 4 seconds better after my "20 min. moto" challenge. That's a LONG time for my Old-Ass.

Jimmy or a few others in here can vouch...I'm not bull-shittin' and, yes, I've done some testing in my days.

Btw, here's a list of suspension co's who've built some stuff that I've tested and have been REALLY impressed...

Enzo
Race Tech...as in Paul himself, tho...also via Jake Thompson's inputs and adj.
MB-1 (Proll'y my favorite outside of Enzo)
George Quay's company...Pro-Action? Rode on some of this in the late '90s...it was damn good.
FC...rode a CRF250R set-up by them...nice.
Naveen, one of his bikes outta HRH...suspension by I dunno...it was a bit soft for a young-kid; but, EXCELLENT valving.
Pro Circuit...via Team Green and JCR Honda..amazing off-road stuff.

The best bike for you is one set-up for you.
any of em cept that dog ktm450

There's a video on Utube of him riding it. It's a must see.

I thought we were talking about what's available currently. Definitely Stewart's last factory KX125. Also Cairoli's 150SX.
