[QUOTE="jrm, post: 992800, member: 30735"] I have an '05 CR250 and I love the bike. My last MXer was an '00 CR250. The '05 is better in every way. It's much faster, handles better, is lighter and has better suspension. The '05 has about the same amount (or slightly more) low end as the '00. But from the mid-range up, it's no contest. I've been riding MX bikes for over 20 years, and the '05 CR250 is the fastest I've ridden. You'll be overshooting turns until you get used to it. But the power is different from the RM and YZ. It's not "roll-on" power; it's "hold the throttle open, hold on and upshift" power. Make sure you're pointed in the right direction when you pull the pin on the thing. It does need a 50/50 mixture of race fuel (VP C12) to unleaded gas to prevent mild detonation (a jetting refinement may fix this too, but I haven't had the chance to play with it yet). And make sure the power valve cables are properly adjusted or the bike will lose its snap. Overall, I'm very happy with the bike. Build quality, reliability and ergos are all excellent. My only real complaint is that top end jobs are complicated by the RC valve cables and the manual is useless on how to adjust the cables. But otherwise, everything's good. You won't be sorry you got the '06. [/QUOTE]
