obviously someone somewhere within Honda or even possibly someone from one of the MX/SX teams has leaked this information. Maybe Honda is waking up to realize the extreamly high costs of supplying there MX/SX teams with parts needed for rebuilds of there 4 T'S. For the price of $1,200-$1'500 just for a top end on a 4T'S I can do 6 top end jobs on my Honda CR125 and for the average person that want's to keep racing motocross the way the economy is now no way can he afford to race a 4 T every single weekend competativly and be able to afford paying that kind of money for the up keep of a 4 T. And with KTM having 3 2T'S for 2012 I can visibly see Honda coming out with a brand new CR250 2T for 2014. I'm not a gambling man but if i were I think I would bet on Honda to do this. And if they do I would even venture to guess that in the not so far future there will also be either a brand new CR125 or a CR150 2T to follow. If any of you read Motocross Action Magazine they will be the first ones to say anything because they get all the new motocross bikes a year in advance before they are released to the public so they can do there testing on them. So keep your eyes and ears open and see if anything is said from them.
