the alum frame yz125 & 250 are supper light
The Shop
You have to remember that although the 2 stroke chassis is "only" 6 years old (which is almost vintage IMO), it has the same basic geometry as the 99 frame (12 years old). I have ridden both bikes back to back and the way the 250F handles is quite a bit better. The ergonomics are different also, as the 250F has a more consistent width which makes it easier to move around on.
What about ............... MOAR PICTURES
Man I love keeping the stock look of my bikes ..."The Sleeper" besides 90% of aftermarket accessories for bikes are jewelery aka cosmetic and dont really enhance the performance of the bike itself. Clamps do nothing unless you get offset and even then they do not flex in tune with the way the bike was designed, all the stock parts go thru 100's of hours of R&D before they make it to production and work in harmony .....its very difficult to get a aftermarket clamp to mimic the OEM clamps in terms of flex and function plus the stockers are usually lighter .... this is only my opinion but my buddy ran the bud select team that Billy Payne made his comeback on and he said that they do this even at that level and they had plenty of money to buy clamps but from the Honda guys was advised to stick with the stockers and a few other things he bestowed on me.....nowadays I simply put an exhaust (on my 2 strokes) and suspension, graphics come after the OEM ones are worn down....thats it and half the time, bikes just need correct springs not a full on revalve...... Just my 2 cents though, everyone has their own intewrpretation.
Case in point I rode the exact same year CR250 my buddy had back in 03 and he had all kinds of sftermarket stuff mine was stock except for pipe and suspension he had the identical setup in those departments and the extra goodies....it felt nothing like mine. Very rigid and unpleasant. SOmetimes stuff like that is good for fixing a glaring flaw but its rare ..... for example I havent broken a lever in over 10 years and all of the setups were stock ....wow I rambled on sorry about that
it hasn't been apart since new. just want to check all the linkage and swing arm bearings. sterring bearings. wheels etc. i ordered new brake pads, chain and sprockets. im gonna do fork seals and fluid. top clamps and protaper bars. i'll post pics when done .

a market? certainly -
We pull about 200 engines a year, and there is generally a waiting list for them.
I'd say most do not go to dirt bike market though...
transformation complete 5 days and counting untill lift off.
I always wondered if someone tried to loosen those frames up a little, there must be points you could grind away to get some flex back in those frames................pretty risky i know...........but anyone who rode one knows they feel like 500cc 300 kmh gp bike frames
Infact there was a article in a UK mag a while back and they tested 4 or 5 bikes from club riders and only one of them was better than stock the rest were worse!
