Sweet. Does someone have more info about what a "dual-timing" injection is? Dual injectors?

Edit: Nevermind.
"PGM-FI

The CRF250R's fuel injection makes a big difference with a bike in this class. New settings this year include dual-stage injector timing and a new injector angle for improved low and mid-range performance. This technology provides smooth and consistent power with an improved throttle response. And fine-tuning it to specific track conditions is easier than ever with our HRC Fuel-Injection Setting Tool"

No air fork for the 250f. Interesting. And nothing done to the 450 air fork, which seemed flawed.

You have a home page? Remember when there was a YZ 80, Yz 100, YZ 125? Hard to get excited about $10,000 bikes, that look the same as the 2004 model, bike that i will never be able to afford.

Dual exhaust on the 250s again...? If they decided it didn't work in 07, why put it on again

Such a beautiful piece of machinery, and engineering.

11 hours on my air forks, and I love them and the whole bike. The spectators who've never ridden the bike are gonna hate.

Uh, the 250 did get completely new styling. It doesn't say that for the 450.

I love the "centralizing the bikes mass" idea. Yeah lets add a couple more pounds to the left side of the bike with an extra muffler and see if it helps it go around corners..

Says who? I ran the duals on my 07 the whole time I owned it without ever feeling the need to change, my little brother races it now, & he is still running the dual setup.. All the honda teams ran the duals as well except for some outdoor tracks to get more top end pull..

Good, because you fail at reading. You should stay in jr. high a little longer.

Just the fact that they put up that video as if they were going to spring something really new and different on us says a lot about where they are. Its probably a great 250 4 stroke MX bike buts its hardly anything revolutionary. I mean is going back to the 2 muffler system that they have already tried and stopped using what passes for exciting news? So much so that you put a video teaser with a future unveiling.

Everything was good in Honda land pre-2008. Now their bikes are becoming like the last F1 car they made: Ugly, Wonky, Ineffective and leaving you wondering what the hell they are thinking.



Drop the ridiculous air fork and dual exhausts. Bring back the CR85, 125 and 250.

Hopefully they sell their motorcycle division to Ross Brawn for pennies on the dollar and success and sanity returns to the brand.
