Thanks for the big thumbs up. This is a project I have been planning for a long time and wanted
to go all out. My goal is to build a bike similar to what team Honda would field if the open class
was still around, so I am using every trick part I can find.
What's the deal with the suspension? It looks like it's a couple of grades higher than the standard bikes have on them
Good eye John, the suspension is Pro Circuit's Works Showas.
What you can't see is how "stout" the engine is. I built it from all new parts based on the 2001.
The transmission is a rare HGA close ratio unit, all the rotational and frictional surfaces have had
an REM Isotropic slick/hard coating applied. The crankshaft has been balanced, Hinson clutch,
multi map programmable CR250 ignition, Eric Gorr top end, VForce 3, Keihin 39.5mm PWK carb and
a Pro Circuit pipe and silencer. It should yield approximately 65-70 "rider friendly" hp at the CS -
way more than most mortals can use, but what a hoot to have on tap
The lessons learned from this build will help with my next project: A CR250 hybrid using an equally
trick 2001 CR250 engine and a 2010-11 CRF250 frame. The engine build has already begun.
