From MXA:
CANADA VOTES NO TO 250 TWO-STROKES IN THE 250 CLASS BECAUSE THE 250 CLASS IS NO PLACE FOR 250s
Here are the new Canadian motocross rules direct from CMCR’s Mark Stallybrass: “After much discussion, feedback and debate regarding the proposed amendment to the displacement rule for the MX2 class in regards to two-strokes, following is the change that will be made for the 2012 season:
(1) For the Amateur MX2 classes only, the maximum displacement for two-strokes will be increased to 250cc. The two-stroke displacement rule for the MX1 class will not change, therefore Amateurs may compete in both the MX2 and MX1 classes with a 250 two-stroke motorcycle.
(2) Intermediate ranked riders will be permitted to compete in the MX2 Pro/Am class at CMRC Nationals with a 250cc motorcycle.
(3) The maximum displacement for two-strokes in the Pro class will not increase, and will remain at 153cc. This rule will be consistent with that of the AMA.
It's funny how MXA says these rules will be consistent with the AMA, but the AMA only allows up to 125cc 2-strokes in the 250F class. If only we could get it to 150cc!

No wait let me bang my head against the wall and ask again, nope didn't work I still don't get it.
Get over it already, for now the 2 stroke is not coming back.
Get over it already, some people like 2-strokes and want them around and will post about it on forums.
get over it, Someone has to correct the Inter-nets
My son is 6ft 1in about 205 and he rides a yz125 pretty good.

I actually received the first reply ever from MXA, when i told them they had made a mistake on 153cc being the same as the AMA. They said it was a direct press release and to contact Mark Stallybrass with the CRMC. Never heard of the guy.
I have a sense of humor and 60 lbs on you,
I've seen you ask or ponder that before. Coming off a 450, why on earth would you think a 250 SX would be too much bike? You'll probably be wanting the 300 kit right off the bat. But the 250SX, PC McGrath pipe and Dick's carb mod sounds like a bad ass bike to me.
