I remember being so disappointed that the new 1980 cr 80 got bad reviews. The local dealership was Honda and I thought the whole CR line up was so cool. After I heard the review I was off to lusting after a YZ. The RMs looked cool but I think I hated Howerton so much that it ruled out wanting...

ok

I bought the 85 cr 250. It has a DG pipe on it that does away with the atac. Most will say you can fine tune the engine to do what you need but the geometry of a bike you are stuck with. With that said my first project will be to find the forks from a 86 or 87...

Yes I plan on racing at some point in the ultima series. I was most into racing @83. I have a really nice 84 yz 250 but it is so nice I am thinking garage queen. I have an 85 yz 250 and I would describe it as a 84 with 15% more power and a disc brake up front...

Bill 163 your post did help and thanks. I picked the Ultima era of bikes because it was the time frame that I so enjoyed motocross. Besides the corrosion issues on the CR you pointed out the gear problem. So I would agree good bike but finding parts would become an issue. Am listening to everyone's advice on the Suzuki...

I know the 82 is the one to collect. The 83 can be turned into 82 motor wise and comes with 43 mm forks but just strictly from a racing aspect is the 84 RM better than the 82-83 ?
