[QUOTE="bedell99, post: 859730, member: 18299"] You are right steve, same day weather can change considerably. To get back on topic with this thread. I finally checked out the new 05 CR250 and talked at length with the American Honda guy at the International Motorcycle Show this past weekend and closly inspected the cylinder. The powervalve design is completely different. How it operates is the same. It is still a push pull design that is actuated by the same servo design, but the front of the cylinder is completely different. It doesn't have an exhaust flange anymore. The front will completely bolt off. There are 2 large allen key bolts also in the front. the rear of the cylinder has holes in it. Basically what the honda rep told me, was they where tired of comprimising on the engine to get bottom end. So they went for a complete hard hitting midrange to top end powerband and even has a little more bottom to than the 04 model. He tried explaining to me that this has a pro type powerband.(What ever that means) Also he said Honda is not giving up on there 2-strokes. Next year most likely will include the new frame, but he pointed out a couple of times that CRF450 still is the best selling dirtbike and they will sell every one they make. I asked hime if the new cylinder will bolt up to the 02-04 cases and he didn't know. He said he didn't see why not. I'm still going to wait till 06 to get my new bike (after my surgery), but I would have to ride one till i would commit to another CR. There was also one thing I liked with all the CRs and CRF they stamped the spring rate on the springs in the rear shock, not that it was a big deal. Also they had Windams bike there and to me the coolest bike of all Valentio Rossi Yamaha GP bike. The actual bike. So cool. Oh they had a pretty cool cutout of Suzuki's new RMZ450 engine.
