my old man had a xt 500 i started on a xt 250 and now have an xr600r and i'm test riding an brand new crf450r in the next few weeks

i was always brought up on s**t 2 strokes without power band but when i got given an xr250 ive always loved them, have ridden a few husky 125 2 strokes and yz 250 2 strokes, the 4 stroke just seems better for an everyday rider, if i was racing id probably get a 2 stroke

i havent ridden in 3 odd years, need to get back on soon :|

ktm and yamaha are the only 2 stroke producers now, 4 strokes are getting alot fast now, fuel injection and the likes, i want to race a 450, first 2 stroke i rode was a cr125 and it blew me away with it's power to weight ratio, then a road an rm 125 and found it s**t house

my mate had an rm 125 and a husky 125 2 strokes and the husky was much better, im too light for yz 250s, they are pretty nutz for me, have ridden a honda racing quad before, cant remember what they are called but it had dual racing pipes and oil cooler among other internal bits and pieces, it used to chew tyres out on the rear crazy, they are soo fast, especially when you take them onto a "private" tar straight road :lol:

Mitch, are you still looking for a BA rear wing? Have one here with removable legs as well as a pair of F/Glass Typhoon legs. The legs will need to be reshaped to suit the EF/EL boot but its not that hard. Includes LED Brake Light. Wing is original BA.

Paint the hub of your rotor in black high temp paint. It will look so much better than the rusty shiit that is on most other E series cars.
