Did Newmann just drop a deuce and leave? Ha.

I thought that pipe was a cigar at a glance. . . is that your stir stick or what?

Did someone say 2 stroke?


Speaking of dropping a deuce... Nice front brake line, Pal!

I hate amateurs, or lets say C class speed on 4 strokes. Chicken shit lines in the turns, berms blown out, you name it... That is no fun on any stroke.

Now go to a place where guys haul ass like club mx, the lines/ruts are perfect which equals consistency.

Never mind the 78-80 CR250 Elsinore stem. It’s a freebie for a inspirational fellow Vitard. There’s more than one of them here by the way.Laughing
Sadly, it won't be Yamaha dropping a new 2019 YZ125. Sure dumped a bunch of R&D money into the new 250F and YZ85 though. One out of two ain't bad.

That would be great news. My wife was just mentioning she'd like to get into riding but real bikes scare her.

I didn't notice many 4jokes at the Erzberg enduro race on Sunday. Seemed to be a mostly 2stroke field, thankfully.

I rode a yz250 and yz125 for a couple years. Let’s just say that itch has been scratched.

Still love the sound

Excellent choice in bourbon, but if you swap brands with the money saved you could spring for a sweet new TM125

2 strokes disappearing was the single biggest killer of the sport in my opinion. Because there was nothing better to make a guy want to ride than a 42 bike main event with 2 strokes at full song. Just that sound made a guy want to ride!

For me I’m not going back to ride a 2 stroke because the new stuff is just to good!

Haha....Hell yeah Joel!! Glad you had fun on her!

And with Joel and myself being about the same height and weight ( 6' and 185lbs ) , that little 125 has some good power behind it. Has no problem hauling my old ass around the track.

That was a tricky track to ride too.....lots of marbles and just dry slick every where. Was a fun day though!

I have yet to see anybody 'hate' 2 strokes.
I'd take a 4 stroke over a 2 stroke any day of the week, and twice on 'race day'...but who actually 'hates' any motocross bikes? That's just dumb. Oh wait, there are plenty that 'hate' 4 strokes. lol
Well Huck....I don't hate 4 strokes at all. I love all bikes , but just prefer the 2 strokes right now. I honestly wouldn't be opposed at owning a 250F one day. Pretty much done with the 450's , as I don't like riding them in longer moto's when I'm a bit tired. Don't feel confident on them when I get to that point.

I miss that track. It was always fun. Do they still have the step up in the middle? That kx250 looks good!

Braaaaap!

I'm just about over dropping big, big money on MX bikes these days, so I'll probably ride my '06YZ250 until I die.

Maybe I'll take the same amount of money it takes to rebuild a 450F and I'll rebuild my top end, change all the plastics to 2018-style, paint the house and take my kids to Magic Mountain instead.

Thanks I appreciate it!

I found it in the crate about 4 years ago and it has about 30 hours on it now, its a sleeper as I kept it mostly stock looking but with full RT Suspension and Tom Morgan motor so its exhaust note is pretty Barky around the track! I have a new set of PC clamps I am getting ready to put on it too and I think I will be done with it.

Yes mesquite still has that big triple step over thing in the center, the G out to triple step over... I just double single those but love the uphill and down hill section and how the track flows for sure, the long table to the left of my truck is fun too!

The only manufacturer that is likely to release a new 125 is Yamaha and it's not happening in 2019. I heard strong rumors a couple years back from someone at Yamaha but Mgmt. has not given the green light. Until then you have the KTM and Husky. Unless they have made major improvements for 2019 neither of those bikes will touch the TM 125!

You don’t say...
The only four strokes in my house are my wife’s XR250 and daughters CRF150. Nice try though.

Loving two strokes now days , is like being a conservative......half the world hate's you and wishes you dead. But will proclaim they are all about equality , love and peace.....as long as it agree's with everything they believe in.

" I hate fucking two strokes!!! "

"Why? "

" Because they suck ,and people who like them suck "

" Why? "

" Because I can't ride them worth a shit , and fuck you! "

" Ok."
Savage. I like it.

That track looks pretty rad, and you seem to be a pretty capable rider with a 125. I’ve got a phone interview with a shop in the Wilsonville area in just a few minutes. With any luck there will be a 2018 150 ripping there with another Joel on it by the end of the year.

I believe that. The 2 strokes on here , for moto.....they get shit from a certain crowd. But if you go into a very large off-road crowd? The 2 strokes still rule the roost.

People have to remember , that guys like myself , spent 15 years on 450's. I made the switch back to 2 strokes because " for me "......they just seem way more fun. And that's not saying they aren't competitive either. As I've teamed in a bunch of guys on my 125 and 250. Battling with the same guys I was on my 450. Only difference.....my face hurts from smiling to much.
So, aside from hard enduro, which pro off road series are being dominated by 2 strokes?
