It was reported in a motocycle magazine recently (Australian Motorcycle News) that Honda has filed trademark applications for its CR, CRM and CRE tags, which as we all know are associated with Honda's 2 stroke motocross/road legal bikes. all these trademarks were specifically for motorbikes not cars.
Interesting....it doesnt mean that they will start producing them again of course, but then why would they apply for the trademark?

Before you start, I would hate to see service honda out of business but why aren't honda doing the same of service honda. They could do it cheaper, meaning higher margins and have a market share of the modern 2strokes...
But I was asking numbers because if service honda sell very few my point is null and void.
Ping Matthes etc all say 450s are too big and the racing has suffered, like the open bikes of old.
Few can ride them to their full potential.
This sport sucks without 2 strokes.
Its like NHRA without the smell of Nitro.
Or how F1 sounds like shit now.
At least the small class should be a true feeder, somewhat Spec class...like GP2 to F1.
AS one poster said above its probably to keep the name rather than starting to produce them again anyway. But we all live in hope (and dreams).
However, I do also own a 125 and 250 2 stroke and agree we need 2 strokes back in the game.
My idea and its obviously worth about nothing is to make the classes 125 2t and 200 4t and then either 250 2t and 350 4t or 300 2t and 450 4t.
I really like my 450, little to no money in engine to be competitive but would rather see the 250 2t / 350 4t class.
