Who would have thunk! Woohoo
Yeah those ol CR's were great bikes I had one from 87 to 93--incredible stone reliable engines.

Great ride report from Carson Brown check it out, sorry if it's been repeated.

He says something negative about the Honda then says "We updated that, but man, it's not bad!" 😂

Stock to stock is most likely the new. I'm an old guy that loves the old bikes. My 96 CR is so much fun to ride and my 02 is awesome. It took a few updates to both to make them more fun than stock. It will be interesting 25 years from now how many of todays new 2strokes will still be alive and kicking.

I love my 18' TC 250....it pulls really really strong after a few mods. Stronger than my 06' RM 250....But.....

Still to this day , that RM still feels perfect. I have to get that thing back together. May possibly be the most perfect bike I've ever owned honestly.

Owned a 93 & a good friend had a 96 that we both raced for many years. We never broke the frames or heard of anybody locally doing it either through the 92-96 era. Granted we weren’t pros, but I do recall hearing MC would change out frames do to stretching them. Excellent bikes for that era..

Such a good lad, his and Miss Parker's Instagrams are two of my few daily must-see's for the backyard track antics and two stroke love

I know it's annoying but by now with seemingly no improvement I think we've just gotta love with it.

Maybe they could change the spelling to Shassy so people can say it right.

I had a tc250. I absolutely loved it for play riding but when I wanted to try to go “fast” (for my standards) it would do all kinds of weird things. Ended up back on blue bikes. I would have loved that thing if I could have gotten it to be more predictable

Had a '94 and wish I never sold it. Those motors just sounded right. Pro circuit did my '01 and was amazing. That sound......😍

I have a 95 with newer suspension and the motor was done by Eric Gorr. it is a very strong bike. when I run 110 Sunoco it def has "that sound".

Yes I really like this Carson Brown guy, fast rider and good communicator on the video.

I believe he's also the one that rode WFO on a totally mudded out/sloshed track.

Anyone seen that one-pretty epic.
