Yeah Newhouse 7, there,s a huge markup on parts. If you ride alot, you buy alot of parts. The manufacters make money off of you until you stop riding. Honda tracks there parts sales better than anyone, to keep there customers happy and to track what people are buying. If they sell 400,000.00 in 2-st parts and 120k in 4-st parts, that tells them what,s going on. Just because Honda said there a 4-st co. now, that just means there the only honest co. out there, because there all 4-st co.s If ya own a cr, it,s prob the most pro 2-st thing that you can do. It has to piss them off, that there 2-st parts sales are great. I owned 13 2-st, nothing handles like a honda or is built like one. Think about the 02 cr250,s with 500 engines, how many RM, SX OR KX,s 02,s with 500 engines do ya see. The 02 and up cr chassis, can handle the 500,s power, you can,t say that about the other makes.
