Which bike are you most interested in?

KX327!

Chinese govt subsidies and employees not paid to western standards. Slippery slope…

Or an ‘89 CR125 😎

I’m interested in the ducati 250f. I’m curious to see if they will beable to squeeze anything more out of a 250f engine with their valve system

That looks Factory even for now, and its 41 years old. 

How far have we really come? 

2028 CRF250R

Honestly, I'm pretty stoked on my YZ250. Since they aren't updating that model and I'll never buy another 4-stroke, no need for a new bike. if I were forced to buy something new and different, I'd really be looking at a Stark. 

27 ktm250fe. From what ive heard personally and from the media talking about it . The rumors that its gonna be a beast this year. It sounds like they're going with the Jamie at twisted development mantra. Build it fast as fuck and scale it back for mortals with the tuning. 

Also excited to see if triumph really does have a 125 coming out in the next 12 months. Heard about it at lorettas and out in Georgia. 

The only new technology current bikes have is 2 more strokes.

Yep, it’s the same “basic” machine.

No -  the engine is just that - an ESO, TG.

You getting a 327?

The last carb'd MC 250. The power was on par with my 300SX, but so much lighter. I asked the MC owner if he'd trade, no way I'd take that loss for a YZ. YZ has a lot of parts availability, it has power valve and tranny issues, but ain't no body complaining. It's a good buy for sure.

My first bike was a 1988 CR125. I rode the wheels off that thing. So much fun!
