need help deciding

i have a 2004 flotek ported and polished cr250 and it has no problems keeping up with the 450 dirtbikes on any terrain. I have also never had any problems with it. It is super reliable and honda makes the best 250 2 stroke engine out there imo. Besides for the new ktm but i do not count those because they are so expensive!

A good thing to remember, red is faster!

just remember top end work on a kx is a lot more expensive

no their not.

That's about my rating too.

I've always had a soft spot for the RM 250's. They just flat out rip.

i hate working on rm bikes. if the water pump seals go, you have to split the case to replace them.

dave what about the nikasil ?

all modern 2 stroke bikes are plated. if it is sleeved, its not original.

There's a reason 125 2s race 250 4s and 250 2s race 450 pokers

Recently redid son's 89 RM 250, parts are still available, but they sure are proud of the PV parts , about $100 each for 4 main pieces

i like rm bikes, just hate fixing things that are designed poorly. same goes for the kx,i hate the main seals cause of the tabs. split to fix. blah.
