"I love them foopers"... but when you're looking for a bike where it won't lock up in the air and spike you over the bars like a crash test doll... it pays to get a real motocross bike.

Still cool, even though it's a Honda. How cool it would be to see all the 2-strokes of the pros - Jeremy M, Shorty, RV, Stanton, Cooper, Bradshaw, Matiasevich, Emig, Lamson, Larocco, Dubach, Musgrave, etc.

They need to put together a special retro race and have these on display in the pits. It would make for a great "halftime" show at an SX or MX race.

Being a Honda-sponsored guy, and riding Factory Honda stuff, what bike do you think he should put together? If he was putting together something that wasn't a Honda, do you think you'd have ever seen it?

Jeez, use your common sense filter.

I know, I know. I working on it.Cool

It's just sad that Honda, who produced some of the best 2-strokes is so "anti-" now.

Here's Stanton's:


RC's


Jeremy's:


RV's of course:

He should be putting together his CRF250R race replica that he won on.... Of course, I haven't seen any factory racer, wanting to build a 4 stroke themselves yet. It's funny, everyone says no one in the pits wants a 2 stroke, but when the chance comes along, every one of them have one. If any of you "in" media people would ask this simple question, It would be all over with. "If you had a choice between a 250 2 stroke or a 250F to race, which would you prefer?" Of course, as it stands, I love how you guys ALWAYS do the 250 2 stroke to 450F comparison, just so the truth won't hurt the OEM's feelings. Of course they pick the 450F. Doubt what I say, tin foil hat stuff? Go ask and video it... 250 2 stroke vs 250F which would you prefer to race? Simple easy question.

I've asked privateers before. You guys (meaning the two-stroke faithful) didn't like the anwer.

Be cool to see all the best current professionals on 250 2 strokes racing for a good cause in an All Star type race setting not named MXdN.

You never asked that, if so, post it. You asked 2 or 4 stroke. Not 250 2 stroke vs 250F. Big difference. Calling BS. Post it, or didn't happen.

Correction, Honda made shit 2 strokes motor wise, the same exact year the 4 stroke appeared in the stable. Every year before that, Honda was considered one of the fastest.

No high horse here. I was just wondering if not a Honda, what a Honda-supported guy was supposed to be building.

You know, I don't generally do this, but...KMPWA. It was at High Point a couple years ago. I asked Browning, Willard, and a few others.

That's generally how I feel most of the time when two-stroke topics come up...especially if Super-Crusaders like miedoso are involved. It just gets dumb.

Yup, just like always.... When I pwn you, you guys ALWAYS, Every Fing time, turn to insults. Not once have you not. You know it was the "general" which do you prefer 2 vs 4 stroke BS question, like always. If not, I'd really like to see a copy of the true question, 250 2 stroke vs 250F. If I'm wrong, like you say, prove it.
