You guys who rag on Newmann are morons and Jim has done a good job of saying the same thing. I used to be surprised at just how gullible the average MX bubba is, but not anymore. As evidenced by the music industry, the average consumer today is a total fuckin' retard. Im just glad there's a few guys out there that have a clue, too bad all you sheeple wont listen to the message and quit persecuting the messenger.

Might even level thing out a bit for 250 2t vs 400 4t who knows, and if it didn't, well then let up to 300cc 2t against 400 4t and be done with it.
Other than that, there's definitely some interesting facts, opinions and misinformation in this thread.
The Shop
Granted, they are '92 RM 250s (which may be one of the ugliest bikes ever made)
Also, they're in boxes.
And, we're hoping that between the 2 bikes, we'll have enough parts to build one bike.
But, for $400 for 2 bikes, you can't go wrong (afterall, we need something to do in the winter)
Been thinkin', what if the FIM and MXSports changed the rules back to heads up racing.
125, 250, Open.
Maybe the problem isn't with the factories.
You know they're gonna go for as much as they can money wise.
But they're not gonna make a bike that's not gonna sell.
I mean, if a guy could run one of AJ's 500 CR's against the current 450 4s,
it wouldn't take long for things to change up.
Maybe it's up to the promoters.
Still I think the YZR400 was the right size for the class, rather than 450's.
@motogrady that's a pretty sensible and as said logical idea/solution. (gets rid of the mx1, 2 and 'lites' crap aswell)
My kid wants nothing to do with KTM or Yamaha.
He has beena Suzuki rider since he was on 65's.
Last year he rode a YZ 125 and hated it...no offense to all you folks that bleed blue...but he hated that bike.
We couldn't find a newer RM250 for under $6K when we were looking to move from the 125 last year unless it was a clapped out POS.
Even though he loves the smokers we ended up buying an 07 RMZ250 for $2K that has run great all year without issue.
WTF are the two stroke folks bitching about? The bikes are out there. For example when your kid is ready I have Rodney Smith's 07 Factory RM250 ready and waiting for you to pick it up. Immaculate and trick. Just bring 50 100 dollars bills and it's yours.

times are different now. the 4fifturds and 2fifturds have 5 more years of development. impossible to RACE a 125 or 250 even at a local pro level anymore.
i'm buying a new KTM or YZ 250 next year and i'll never own another turd stroke.
and the reason 4fifturds and 2fifturds are the norm is because of all the fucking sheeple that gave into getting raped in the ass by the manufacturers and the ama.
turds.
The truth of the matter is half of the people if not more, that are arguing day in and day out for the 2 strokes.are part of the reason they are no longer relevant in professional Motocross. If you in the last decade went to your motorcycle dealership and purchased a 4 stroke its your fault. For a very long time untill like 2006 every OEM was still offering a 2 stroke. The dealerships would then sit on those 2 strokes until the end of the year when they would clearence them out and try to get rid of them.
The public chose 4 strokes not the OEM's. If you are a die hard 2 stroke fan great, but don't force your minority view on the mass population who loves 4 stroke racing.
25/30/35/40 expert as serious as I did Intermediate all those years ago.
Anyone who chose to buy a 4stroke instead of a 2 stroke to take to the track is indeed at fault, no ifs ands or buts. If you regret your decision fine, but learn to live with it.
we the consumer didn't decide the outcome, the manufacturers and ama did years ago. they made the turd with double the cc's and pushed it to the masses and discontinued any development for 2-strokes.
whether the bikes sold or not, the decision was already made that the turd was the way of the almighty dollar.
this industry and the japanese manufacturers are so fucking greedy it's ridiculous.
