Sounds like a Yamaha Banshee ripping Glamis. Could an electric motor make that much noise if the camera was mounted close enough to it?

Here's what a 250f sounds like with the gopro mounted on the fork clamps. I'm pretty sure the same thing is happening in the OPs video, the vibrations make it sound like that.

Based on the fact you clicked on a thread entitled "What is Honda up to!", I would say you care.

I see what you're saying. That video sounds identical. Probably the new 250F. I heard they're going with twin pipes(again) to match the new 450s. Whoever was in that original Honda video was FLYING. Unless mounting a camera on the swingarm makes it look faster.

Triple pipe. Costs more goes slower......

Perfect for a lawn mower company.

Now that's the real deal! A true pre-production 250.

I've got some gopro footage on a KX500 and it sounds like a diesel truck.

I like how some dumbass ppl on here think Honda is the only one making power products! Kaw has power eq., cruise ship engines. Yam has power eq also. Look under the hood at lowes, bet you see some Kaw engines.

Honda also are returning to Formula one in 2015 (apparently). Not to mention their other successes previously. Not sure why there is so much Honda hate this year. Last year people loved Honda for helping Reed and this year people aren't fans anymore?

They are going to sell F1 cars to the public? How will they ever justify the cost??? They can't afford to offer a CR125 to the public let alone an F1 car....millions in r&d and tooling and marketing and lololol.

Can only speak for myself, and dunno if there's so much hate. I feel a bit frustrated because I love Honda products, quality are superior which is something I demand. But on the other hand they gave smokers the finger, and to my understanding put an halt to the equal displacement thing in both the GPs and Nationals, which would have made racing better for the fans (and most likely for some teams) and in the long run for the sport...

I feel they are not passionate, a bit too much of a money machine, corporate, in contrast to KTM, they of course want to make money as well, but for me seems to have a more passionate breed of board and employees...

I just watched Herlings ride the shit out of a SX125... That symbols so much for me.

Maybe that come into play?

Newmann- I mean this in the nicest way, but you hold the world record for weaving a 2-stroke agenda into any possible conversation!
You know how Mr. Info is famous for his Ray Finkle/laces out obsession with DC and Glen Helen? You could be headed toward "laces out" territory, my friend...Smile
