    I know not your traditional build but this motorcycle is tied on the first place pedestal right next to the Tacoma. Ive been racing/riding for about 10 years now.


    I got her in 2007 after my deployment to Afghanistan, she replaced my 2000 CR250, i needed to get into the 4-stroke scene.

    Most recent picture Nov 29th
    [​IMG]

    The day i bought her 2007 Honda CRF 250 only been kicked once.

    Breakdown!
    Suspension:
    Front: Factory connections complete workup
    Rear: Factory connections complete workup
    Rear Linkage is also Factory Connections
    Heres a picture after i put her back together with the new suspension

    [​IMG]

    The suspension for the most part is freakin amazing i spent about 2500 just to get it where i wanted it.

    Controls:
    Pro Taper triple clamps 20mm Offset
    Pro taper Evo bars woods bend for use tall ppl :cool:
    Sunline front brake lever, bends out of the way if you wreck

    [​IMG]

    Engine:
    K&N filter- most people disagree with this but if you just clean it after each ride you shouldnt have a problem. Makes it pull real hard in the low end!
    Pro Circuit High compression piston
    Boysen quickshot- basically a bigger bowl for the carb to pull fuel from
    Exhaust- FMF Q4 Silencer w/ Powerbomb header

    Plastics are stock
    Decals are stock
    Numbers-Attack graphics they messed up on the order and made them red :confused:
    One day ill end up changing but now its not high on priorities

    Wheels and Tires:
    Busted a rear wheel awhile back so had to change
    Front- Excel A60 w/ MICHELIN STARCROSS MS3 FRONT TIRE - 80/100-21
    Back- Excel A60 w/ MICHELIN STARCROSS MS3 REAR TIRE - 100/90-19
    I just started running these tires im happy so far but only have about 3 rides on them. Im normally riding Maxxis but they recently became hard to get ahold of.

    This is my first ride/ break in with the new bike and me playin with some freestyle.

    Awesome bike man. I've always liked the dual exhaust :D

    I use to race when i was about 15 and I absolutely loved it. Can't wait til i can get a new bike and start it again.

    I loved that dual exhaust when i first got it, but when i started reading up on it, a single exhaust has better low end power. The new honda are awesome, i wish i woulda waited a year and got the steering stabalizer. They come factory on the 2008's and above.

    I bought these corner pieces that latch the side and back rail together. Its by far the best way i have found to tie down bikes. Those cleats you get from the factory always flexed alot and when I put two bikes in the bed it thought it was gonna break, so when i saw this i jumped on it.
    Thanks, i like Ktm's hydrolic clutchs and i still love the heck out of two strokes, i jump on one every chance i get.

    I just picked up a 05 CRF 250, havent gotten to ride it yet. I am going to use it for a trail bike. Power feels good in the 4 stroke.

    I love my CRF shes been great to me so far. If its hard to start at all id take and get the valves adjusted. I dont know if the last guy did any maintenance on it before he sold it. But valves on these things can get outta tick pretty easy and will make for a bad ride. I wasnt big on the 4 strokes till i rode my buddies 250f and i knocked 2 seconds off my lap time first lap. :eek: the power is always there and you dont have to shift as much. Good choice for a trail bike! :thumbsup:

    Ive always been a honda guy, ever since my 85cc:D.
    Thanks i like to think ive taken a few hot laps, but im not great by anymeans.
    Ive been wanting to look at getting a 2011 crf 450. Some of these tracks i ride now are mainly 450 tracks and the 250 is barely skimming by

    Nice! Here's a pic of my 2010 CRF250. My last bike was a 2005 CRF250. Best bikes I've ever had and the fuel injection on the new one is a night and day difference. It's like riding a two stroke that's always in the powerband.

    Looking good man! you done anything to it yet? I loved all 4 of my Hondas from 85-125-250-250F They have all been great bikes but on every one ive broken a rim. Ill see if i can find the picture of what i did a couple of months ago. I wish they would come with Excels from the factory like Yamaha. Ive ridden a few of the fuel injected ones they are nice. Im concidering getting a new CRF 450 or a new quad, dont know yet.

    All I've done to my '10 so far is put a Yoshimura exhaust system on it, which made a pretty good difference. The only thing I plan on doing is suspension, possibly changing the gearing up a little bit, and fine-tuning the EFI. It is definitely a big difference from my '05, you touch the throttle the slightest bit on this bike and it just wants to GO! Kinda hard to get used to since on the '05 I would have that bike screaming all the way around the track, giving the throttle everything it had. Sure would be alot easier to get used to if I still had my own track to ride everyday. *sigh*

    Nice looking bike there, ive been looking at the hotcams but havent pulled the trigger yet, because ive never been completely in a situation where i absolutely didnt have enough power. I wanna go check out the FI bikes when i get home. My bank account says no but my brain says yes haha. I wouldnt trade this 250f for anything, i mean all the time and money i spent on the suspsension was more than worth it in my book. I had a polished frame on my CR250 and that was awesome for like the first month, but keeping that shit shiny is a PITA

    You can come down and ride our track :cool: Me and a buddy just built one 2 months ago. Came out alot better than i expected it too. You will love having the suspension set up just for you!:thumbsup:
