[QUOTE="Hybrid, post: 992645, member: 55650"] Hey guys new to the forum. Had a 91 KX250 which I sold early in the fall. It was a great bike and had a good amount of balls. I wanted to purchase a new bike, and well my choice is 2 stroke red. I've read numerous reviews on the bike and I know its not the best engine choice out there in the 06 group. But Honda's fit and finish, ergonomics, build quality, suspension and braking are and have always been amongst the top. Plus I'm 230lbs so I figure the frame will handle my weight a bit nicer. No I don't want blue, I don't like the ergo's or the solid bar clamps. I can even get a deal on blue because my bosses husband is the accountant for yami here locally. I know these reviews nit pick the bikes and perhaps an average rider like me (trail, track for fun, don't race) cannot tell these differences anyway, it just comes down to be comfortable with the bike. I have read some early 2000+ reviews and the cr was the top of the game back then, so I'm sure they haven't made the bike worse in 06, i.e. the 06 is a far improvement over the 2000, 2001 etc etc. Its just that the competition is stiff in 06. Additionally these tests test the bikes stock. Another reason I choose red is because the dealer here is great and they advertise on my local web site. All that being said, will I notice a significant improvement over my 91 KX250 power wise? I'm an engine freak so I need a good engine or one that is well accepting of mods to get it where I want it. Also I plan to install the boyesen reed cage and reeds, re-jet it and probably put a PC pipe on it, and a new head if I find the detonation a real problem. With those things done, will this motor be an 06 competitor. Again, I'm expecting a significant improvement over the 91 KX250 in every category. I can get a left over 05 KX250 for about 6500 canadian plus tax, but the dealer is less than satisfactory to deal with and there are no bonus bucks with it. But I know the KX250 kicked ass in 05, but again I don't race and ain't no pro. Plus I'll get some what of a deal on the honda, and $500 in honda bonus bucks, bike price 8k canadian + tax. Any unbiased feed back you guys with experience with CR's can provide would be good. This is not a brand battle, I just want to know what I'm getting myself into. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
