The only 4s I've owned are an XR200 and XR250 (besides old ones XLs). They were fun to play around on, but I have had a whole slew of 2-strokes, and I'm still looking for a good 125, or 150. Heck maybe even a 250.

I prefer 2-srokes.

Maybe just a Honda boycott. Those RMs are just too sweet to not be ridden.

You know, realistically (sp?), I think there is a good possibility of another type of series springing up (outside of the AMA). For example, the Monster Cup race is an open displacement race and is already generating excitement. I don't know if this will spawn other races, but the excitement is there. Also the petition is steadily rising, which shows an increase in interest and commitment to see a 2-stroke allowed to race equally.

I think it will happen.

Ha! No Yamaha is kind of the good guys. They just need to update their YZs. Funny.

Oh man, I forgot this Honda grease that I had in my toolbox. This is like clearing out an infection!

I just went out and torched my Honda lawnmower, and my Rick Johnson poster.

I think a boycott of Honda, Suzuki, and Kawasaki would be a good test to see if they value sales, even though they say pride runs their company. I can imagine a lot of cars, lawnmower, motorcycle, apparel, and related items would make a dent in their sales and company image. Look at what happened to Disney with the Christian boycott. The same thing happened to Proctor & Gamble. When that image is tarnished, then there is a real impact that follows.

Just a thought.

« on: August 10, 2011, 09:04:37 PM »

Actually an XR200 or CRF230 would be the logical choice for the transition to a 250f. A 125 will seem faster than a 250F at first, just like a 250 seems faster than a 450F. Man, that is some fun power, though. The 250 2-stroke was probably the best motorcycle ever made.

Good stuff for 2-stroke Todd, as well (way to go "TST"). I wish they would have given him a little more time, and asked him what his plans were for expanding this to include other venues. Either way, this is how things get started - small and excited, and then it grows.
Excellent stuff, thanks Charles.

Definitely hoping for a complete return better and stronger. Oh, and nice bike!

Thanks for the clarification Tom. Do they allow 450 2-strokes in there?

Of course, if he starts getting beat by the 2-strokes, then he'll feel the pressure to switch. Sometimes it depends on the race. The 2-strokes have the advantage in most of the situations, but the Fs have some situational strenth at times too.

I would definitely like to. Especially to see the bikes.

Yeah, you're right. If he screws you over on this, he will ruin himself. Hopefully, he's not that dumb.
