So no one can talk about the bike until next week?

Exactly. With multiple waves for media, an embargo means that all outlets will have time to compose their thoughts. Have seen 25’ CRF250R’s around SoCal already, wouldn’t think the 450’s are too far behind…

All of the testing outfits claiming the bike is stiff and rigid… come to find out it was too soft.

Looked at the 250 yesterday. Super clean looking and the shrouds are not nearly as bad in person. Definitely the best 250F Honda ever. Shock mount is way low like the Kawi.

So you're saying everyone bitching about the shrouds is gonna be okay? Thank God!

And all the people installing expensive "flexier" mounts and saying they made it better - talk about the blind leading the blind.

Customer: "Um, so are these supposed to make my bike more flexier or more rigider or just more betterer"?

Manufacturer: "Yes".Laughing

Spent the last week greasing everything and switching out parts. Waiting on numbers and seat cover but pretty much done. Going to set the sag tomorrow and try her out Saturday.

Best thing I did on the previous generation was run stiffer suspension. So many people, including fast folks, kept telling me it was too stiff.

Just an fyi Michael said in his intro video that yosh will be coming out with an updated pipe for the '25 soon. I was thinking about waiting for that one unless your is it? I didn't see it on their site yet.

Nope mine is from my 22. I asked around through emails and all told me it would work. I knew yoshi would come out with a new system but figured I’d just use one of my last pipes ( only has 4 hours on it). I also have a mapped vortex from xpr but with the different airflow on this bike I guessed I would have to remap.

Email them. They for sure have them, sometimes they just don’t have them on the website yet. I’d bet they have a powerflow kit ready too.

I had inquired a couple weeks ago about an OEM filter and they were on backorder. Might have changed by now.

So this is a question... Now Yosh have released an update for the '25 bikes, but based on info from the '24 HRC bikes, does that mean the new or the old system is better on the 22-24 bikes or will both have different characteristics meaning actually, for some riders the old system would be better and for some the new one?

Sort of odd that the 250WE comes with the stainless steel header.
