I am tagging along to see what the answers are. With my age and past injuries I have trouble swinging my leg over the last 2-3 inches to get on/off without starting platforms or a step stool.

@Evoracer - Best pic I've seen yet! LoL

I’ve had many econolines, tall 170 sprinter, toy hauler, cargo trailer and now a single rear box van. i’d never go back to a trailer. My sprinter had a tree fall on it or I’d still be rocking it. here’s what I have now, no complaints.

It all depends on how serious you want to get. If you're just out there to have some fun, you'll be fine on either bike, but if you want to push the limits of those bikes, you'll soon find out their weak links and suffer the occasional DNF and the week after the race you'll be chasing down parts from potentially around the globe. If you let it consume you, and are competitive and meticulous about things like I was, it can be pretty damn expensive, even with some sponsor help here and there. I went full tilt into vintage...

None of them bolt right up. The two strokes come with 25mm offset clamps and the modern four strokes come with 22mm offset. I'd argue that 22mm is a great upgrade for motocross use, so that may be a benefit. The 2016-2017 450 used 25mm offset if you prefer that. Regardless, you need both the top and bottom to be the same offset. Four strokes use a different top tube clamp diameter than the two strokes; smaller by 2mm. So you can only use that if you can find someone to bore it out to the correct size. And on...

Best thing I ever done was have a shoulder reconstruction. Kicking myself I waited 6 years. So many dislocations and pain during those years. It just keeps getting worse and worse.

Meanwhile back in Japan.

Obvious choice! 2006/2008 CRF. I would holeshot and win 50 Int at REM on my 06 CRF 490 big bore regularly, and holeshot and lead laps in 50 Expert. I won my class at Mammoth in 2013 and holeshot a 40 rider Expert gate in 2015 on a 9 yr old bike. My bro yanked FOUR 40 rider gate Mammoth holeys that weekend in 40 Int and 50 Exp, and he just won 50 Expert at REMs last race a few weeks ago on his 2008 CRF 490 with a full gate of new bikes. I haven’t even sniffed the...

From a few weeks back Sierra OTHG warm up round prior to the OTHG National at Hangtown. Class is 58+ intermediate, went 1-1 on my YZ125, out of 19 riders. https://youtu.be/Rxu1oijuxr8

I had every intention of running my TC250 more this season and keeping the 150SX as a backup bike on race day. Thought that I would not only be more competitive on the 250 but also have more fun as well. Haven't been able to keep off the 150 ever since. By far the most fun race bike on the planet!
