[QUOTE="marcusgunby, post: 863562, member: 17066"] Well we have to put the cr performance into context, i beleive for a normal rider the cr is a reasonable engine as from the bottom to the lower top the engine is ok, its just where a 125 should start to make real HP(10K) the cr dies away, a expert rider will miss that last rush of top end power they can use to make the cr fly, other riders may decide the power upto 10K is good enough for them, its a better cr engine than most others and in 2001 it would have been one of the best , but in 05 the others have made gains.With a decent piston kit it would be a reasonable engine.Just dont expect to chase 250fs down big straights and win. The tuning side of the cr is tricky, i dont see gains from the head, or carb, a boyesen 3 reed block may help straighten the big offset on the carb,A pipe will give a solid 1 hp gain and should help top end rev. The only thing is i dont see it ever being a 36hp monster like my RM;) How did honda get to this stage?? i ask myself the same thing, people suggest its to make the 250f look even better, i think not as the pre 250f 125s were bad, all the engine really needs IMO is a new cylinder(or a 99 one) and a straight inlet tract.The one good thing about the 05 cr is the pv seals real well compared to the 2001 so thats why the bottom end works much better.
