All

I'd love a yz100.

All part of KTMs plan to build ahead and get product into the US before the Tariffs went into effect.

Miss the days when the media would go over to Japan for round 1 of there series and would get the spy photos of the new bikes. Was always cool to see.

The Honda CR line was assembled in Ohio in the late 70's, early 80's

I don't participate in FTR because of the (my opinion) heavy-handed application of rules - spark arrestors, pit bikes, etc - the list is a mile long. Now tear-offs. This is one more reminder of why I stay away from this group. That said, I know there are lots of folks that like that environment, it's just not for me. Clearly I'm in the minority here, and that's fine. You do you, I'll do me.

I don’t think Matthes was allowed at any of the JLaw parties back in the days.

The forks sound perfect for me . I like a super stiff fork to jump into whoops & keep driving threw them . A sand corner with a big hump . I blip off a hump get sir & pitch bike left & bounce off the corner hump. Profeshenal cornering secrets. I like the shock plush with slow rebound. RT makes a cool gizmo part 4 older bikes shocks that helps with square chop & traction . I would ride the 450 & break the suspension in. Stopped at 4 ts in Tn. Only 1 out of 4 has laundry.

all you guys should check the compression ratio on your stock bike you really need to use leaded race fuel & the only lead that ever hurt anyone is a Bullit

Lead is great for valve protection, especially the titanium valves in our motors. It was suggested to me years ago to run some leaded fuel (mixed with a quality pump fuel) by an experienced engine builder. In the early years of the 250Fs it literally doubled the time between valve clearances for me. I was shocked how much of a difference it made.
