It’s not for me- it’s my job. It’s people’s perception- they didn’t want four strokes, they wanted two strokes. Go read the posts. “Simple” “easy” “cheap” “father and son in the garage” They werent asking for EFI two strokes with balancer shafts and electric starts. They wanted ‘old’ because they didn’t like change. However, Tbf, I’ve had several jobs on TPI bikes which have been more difficult than ‘old’ two strokes. Starter motors and bendix are more expensive than kickstarts. As are the far more complicated wiring harnesses. And I never had an oil pump or CCPS go wrong on...

Most of the guys calling for a two stroke resurgence were doing so because they like the simplicity and the economy of a two stroke. When they realise that this new breed of two strokes aren’t simple and aren’t cheap and they can’t work on it themselves over a brew, they’re going to be disappointed. This isn’t the bike that those two strokes die-hards have been wanting. They wanted a re-run of a 2006 bike.

Caution: Long winded post. Just sticking to BPC-157 and related TB-500 peptides. Please, NO DERAILING into political discussions...If you want to do that, go to Non-Moto. On July 23–24, 2026 , the US Food and Drug Adminstration's Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee will formally evaluate whether BPC-157 and TB-500 — two of the most widely used compounded peptides in the United States — qualify for inclusion on the Section 503A Bulk Drug Substances List. So, it may be possible to get tested and confirmed product in an FDA approved manner in the near future from a government approved supplier. These peptides...

I broke my back last year and had t4-t8 fused. I have serious about my recovery and left no stone unturned. I tried pill form of 157 and 500. Honestly, how would it be possible for you, I or anyone else to accurately measure any tangible effects attributed to the stack, considering the body’s natural healing processes amongst other recovery related activities and lifestyle changes occurring in tandem (diet, exercise, rest, red light therapy, supplement and vitamins and placebo etc.). That said, I can’t say that it doesn’t help at all. I simply don’t know and didn’t notice anything drastic...

I don’t even want to think about it lol. Too damn much but it makes me happy! Bought in Sept of ‘13 with 2 hrs on it for $4,500. Bike is a 2011 in 2015-2021 plastics. Nickel plated bolt kit, lots of carbon & some Ti here & there. Wanted myself a “Factory Edition” YZ250 and I’ve got it

If you are nostalgic about the old RM, I would say get an 06 or 07 RM 250. You will never need another bike again. They are still deadly and super fun to ride. I don't have one, but my best riding buddy does and I ride it a lot. It's a super fun bike to ride. Something about those 2000's era 2 strokes is just different than the new stuff.

There are a hundred other things that are hurting local racing more than a kid not being able to sandbag.

Midwest riding over here is still solid, I’m in northern Indiana. So 1.5 hours from Joliet Mx (IL) 50 mins from Redbud (MI) 39 min from Motoland (IN) 50 mins from LTMX (IN) 2 hours from Wildcat Creek (IN) 2 hours from Log Road (MI) 2 hours from Dutch sport park (MI) 2 hours from B-52 (IL) And almost all these places have races throughout the summer. Unfortunately only 3 have open practice consistently though. Also not to mention motoland!! Just opened back up (A+ track) and supposedly the owner says he’s trying to be open a lot this year!

Broken bead or you saved some money and got the Rinaldi tires
