General Two Stroke Talk / Re: Enlighten me please.
« on: June 11, 2011, 06:17:38 PM »
Sure, hondas are reliable and have the rep for being reliable. However, the first watercooled CRs starting in 81 were terrible, and even in the late 80s the water cooling rotted out. The early part of the 80s produced either poor quality bikes that broke or bad performing bikes. They went from the top, which was the red rocket (78 to 80) which is a good late 70s bike and very reliable and sought after (I used to have a 79 CR250) to crappy ones. Actually, Hondas were bad with transmissions though, 2nd gear always seems to blow out even in the 70s bikes. Blew 2nd gear out of my 79 CR125.

ya, not sure why an 84 would be selling so high, as sachs said they suck. The 85 250s were also bad. The 86-88 are good, but the real gem is the 87 and its hard to get parts for those ones even.

Koestler can get you Koestler Maicos. He's said in emails to me if I want a bike. I known ppl have imported them themselves in the past.

Ya, the mid 80s water cooled huskies are pretty much unwanted. The reputation of Husqvarna in the mid 80s was terrible and quality control is rumored to have gone pretty bad (Super Hunky has an article on this). Also, the mid 80s Husqvarnas looks a bit "square" with their plastics.
The 83/84 air cooled are ok for resale as they will actually sell but still are not fetching huge prices, at least those are on par with Japanese bikes.
The last really sought after Husky bike is the 82 1/2 500 Silver.

I cut my handle bars and drill out the holes bigger. Otherwise, my tassles don't fit.

Played it yesterday, controls are a bit harder and less forgiving than Freakstyle. How do yous witch gears or go faster? Seems like the 125 is a dog going up the hills in the game. I come out the gate and I can be like 1st or fighting first, then I just get to10th place at the end of the1st lap and cna never regain it, seems like the other bikes when they go around turns pick up faster, but even if I do full throttle the entire course seems that my bike is underpowered.

Never put copywrite material in videos, just d/l free music if you want music there's plenty of royalty free music. It's not worth the hassale of fighting the music industry or giving them any supposidly free advertising or putting ads on your videos.

The last hill I climbed in the video was all loose dirt, followed by wet rock and it's very steep. Without a trials tire, going as slow as I was, you'd spin out as soon as I turned the bend. Trials tires aren't like a minor, slightly noticible improvement, a good trials tire is a very noticible improvement in traction. But you need the torque and smooth torque in order to use them, otherwise you just stall and you can't spin a trials tire like aknobbie so you can't have on/off torque. I put a trials tire on all my bikes, they're that good.
Although, I haven't gotten a flat yet, I've heard that is the sucks because trials tires do not have solid side walls, so you're basically riding the rim in silly puddy.

So I should get Reflex too? Let me try it on thursday and see how it is I guess. Last games I played I had, some sucked big time like what was it, Jermey McGraith or ricky charmicheal thing for PS2? Was the sucks big time, bike was all weird and flakey. Freakstyle was great tho, even better than the original ATV game. I had those for PS2. Motosport or whatever it is called where you can do atv, bikes or trucks or whatever for PS3 I got when it came out, was a good game.
