What...the ....fuck. Work done by a mechanic, and said mechanic has employment where? Guido's Honest Auto Emporium? This shit has got to be a joke.... Love the exoskeleton exhaust. Keeps heat from the precisely tuned rear suspension components. That pipe sure looks YZ 490ish....

When you see a quad in the background, run away as fast as you can!

Ditto. Why when you can buy a properly designed aluminum frame CR250 of the same or later year? Complete with a trick tucked in exhaust that doesn't burn you or require hacking your side panel.
Delete your browsing history and hope that virus doesn't show up again.

By "mechanic" he must mean his buddy that works down at the local quick-lube place...

That thing will be in a lifted truck with a paddle tire by the weekend.

Still not as light or powerful as a ktm

Doesn't have hydraulic levers
Or electric start

Not impressed

Did I mention it's not as good as the ktm

I'm actually thinking about pulling the trigger on this one.
It's easy to see, even for the untrained eye, this mechanic fella has talent.
Pro Circuit needs somebody to sort out their race bikes..who better for the job

I think it was a great idea. Guy got a whole new engine for the price of a valve job. Barcia could use this upgrade. Probably saved about 15lbs without having to buy a $2500 titanium bolt kit too.

I can give you a ride review without ever actually riding it. The short version is this:

-Raw, abrupt power. Almost like the powervalve isn't working.
-A little shaky at speed but rails the corners and changes direction easily.
-Pipe burns leg.

Alright guys, I guess i took one for the team and traded my old 250f,

Had to see what this thing is like..the frame work looks good and the engine is solid but i definitely get that "rigged" feeling about a few parts, hoping to hit Lake Elsinore this weekend and get a feel for it,

I will be sure to wear my GoPro.
