My New Toy!

It's new to me anyway. I bought a CR250F a couple weeks ago. I took it out to Highland Park and only crashed twice! I need to learn to climb hills better. It's been over 15 years since I've ridden a dirty bike. I'm going to hit some trails this weekend if possible or maybe a mx track if I get brave enough. I love this thing. Sorry for the crappy mobile phone pics.

Thats going to be my next purchase. I've been wanting a dirtbike for a while now.

Actually that van is dope. All wheel drive diesel. Lifted about 6 inches.

nmballa, yes the van is. The stripe is gayer than Gingermex's miata.

haugy, wow. That is saying a lot about the negative man value of that stripe. Oof.

Nice looking bike.

That is my next toy as well. Either a Yamaha or a KTM.

NM, I rode last weekend in WI! It was fun and then it started to snow! Even more fun!

8824, Go with yamaha... KTM parts are too expensive. Trust me. Give Kawis a look too

So far I love it. I bought it from a friend who put a ton of money in it and decided he wanted something more suited for woods/trail riding. The whole thing is basically new except the frame. I thought I wanted a 450 but the 250 is enough for now. I rode a couple of three diamond trails at Highland Park on it and love it. I just need to learn how to really ride it.

8824, I'm not brand loyal but Honda's are bulletproof bikes. My street bike is a Honda and it is the best bike I've ever owned. I can ride it like I stole it and it never has a problem. A couple of my friends ride Yammi's and love them. KTM's are great but like lop said the parts are outrageous. It all comes down to what you like.

nmballa, you need to trade the stripe on it now for a red one.

Also not too brand loyal, but I own a Honda dirtbike and streetbike, and love them both.

If honda dirtbikes are anything the honda 400ex 4-wheeler, they should be indestructable. I ran the hell out of my 4-wheeler, wrecked it several times. Rolled it end over end 3 times down a really steep hill. Completly submerged it under water many times, and it ran as good as new until I sold it.

I like Honda's. I rode a foreman and it was pretty solid. If somebody gave me a smokin deal on a Honda, I would buy it.

I am partial to Yamahas. Their old superjets, sleds, quads ( ride a Grizzly!) and cycles are sick. The R6 is a sick bike.

Nothing against kawi and suzi, I would mainly stick to Yamaha and Honda.

Im kinda weird. On 4 wheelers, I like Yamaha's. I have a Grizzly too. On dirt bikes, I like Hondas and on street bikes, I like Suzukis.

Its a pain in the butt to keep the black on the KTMs clean and replacement parts aren't cheap. but the again when it comes to dirt bikes im a honda fan, i love my crf250, all of ours seem bulletproof you just got to maintain them properly.
