Opinions on the best 10 bikes of the last ten years?, I ll go with the yz 125 and 250 2 stroke(06 and newer), 07/08 crf 450, ktm 150, 2010 kawy kxf 450,09 crf 250,ktm 350sx,ktm 450sfx., yamaha yzf 450(2010-2011). Going with quality, performance, hop up potential etc!, and a nomination for the rmz 450for being first for EFI!
The 06 CRF450 was a good bike? A kid I know has one with literally around 5-10hrs on it. Thought about buying it.

The 1984 CR 125. Blows away every bike today. Looks GREAT with my pink scott goggles and 1998 Answer gear.

1987 CR125. By far the best suspended bike, compared to it's competition.

Another nod for the 08 CRF450.

The KTM 250sxf - later years, those things have awesome engines.

Man......with a lot of votes going for the 08' CRF450.....it makes me really proud i went and picked up the last remaining new one around. I haven't even ridden it yet , but that sucker just feels right sittin' underneath me!



Going back a few years , I would have to say the 93' , 95' and 96' CR 250. Even though I was a die hard kawi rider in those days , all my friends who owned the Hondas had better bikes.......I knew it , but was to stubborn to admit it.



I was also the owner of an 82' RM125 back in 83'-84'.......I rode the wheels off that thing.
