I don't really see a question here, but I'll give a partial answer to aluminum frames. They look better,plain and simple. I don't think it's cost,rigitity,weight, or whatever. Scrub it off with a Scotchbrite and it looks like new. Steel frames need to be painted, the paint wear's off,it looks like shit, even if you powdercoat.

Let's face it, no matter how much you ride, you look at your bike, more than ride it.

lighter than the lightest of the aluminum frames from Japan. More open space to clean and maintain the bikes too. Pretty cool that there actually is a company out there with good focus on the motocross and offroad market.

The four strokers this year are looking good...



but the 150SX is off the charts. This is what motocross is all about. Too bad the powers that be in professional racing don't do what's necessary to bring back a inexpensive form of entry level professional mx.

With the option to pick the sx or xc power delivery.
I"m either spending a few g's getting my cr250 refreshed from the ground up next year, or doing the 300 hard parts deal.

Think of it as a "tan line"...

...or replace it.

It;s kinda suprising with the 125 or 250s that they don't swap the layout completely like Yamaha with the 450...

Put that airbox up front with something for your knees to hold still, and drop the tank around the carb or so, all the weight right down low, it'd be like riding a DH MTB bike!!!
