The only thing I can really hang my hat on is that it is well documented that Honda never liked 2 strokes. And since 1997, the CR250R never made many changes for the better. It even cost them their star rider. It seems like OEM's are about 4 years ahead ... more »

Well said. I also like having supermoto options for the street. So there is another silver lining.

Looks like the honda museum

The public is always willing to try the next big thing. Lots of next big things showed up in that time when all the smokers were getting bng. Hold on though. The public isnt done choosing. Ktm is killing the japs in sales and over 25% of everything the ... more »

After a string of RM's, Suzuki directly affected my life and pushed me over to KTM. I paid full MSRP ($6600) for a 2011 KTM250SX when Yamaha was giving away brand new 2008 YZ450F's for $4100 out the door. I'll go to TM, Beta, Gas Gas, anyone. I'll rebuild ... more »

Are people who want to discuss real racing less intelligent if they keep posting in two stroke threads that they are tired of the community arguing about again and again? Pro fisher.

Excuse me, but not having a option of a 2014 RM250, CR250R, or KX250 does affect me. It directly affects me as I had cash in hand in 2008 awaiting a new generation RM250 to buy.

The reason why there is "US vs. Them" is because the 2 stroke is the superior power plant. Fact. It is way more efficient and way less complicated. Fact. If the entire MX scene was four stroke, and someone had "invented" the two stroke in 1997, the entire ... more »

Anyone know if Motosport.com will be doing anything?

Isn't the frame coated with something? I wondered if aluminum brightener would go through the coating or not?

I can offer this hypermoto with crf tail section?

Plus, dealers don't care if you are being responsible or not. They don't even care if the bike gets repo'd in 3 months. So we have clearly established that people going to the dealerships aren't dealing in cash. I'm still curious how many people are ... more »

Yeah, invest in a set of OEM radiators before selling!

I didn't mean to get the conversation spinning off into the "Should you finance or not" debate....I was simply wondering what are your friends doing. OF the guys you know, how many are riding bikes they paid cash for or are they financing. This could ... more »

Thanks. What is the max pressure you allow before starting to freak out?

Do you pressurize it to 50, then add heat? Or are you just capping the ends and the heat builds to 50 psi on it's own?

This place is like a pent up frat house.
