Dam Eric ," oh no ", ya got me thinking again.. Ya see I was pretty much set on a 450 for next season , since I should be full speed ahead for racing the old vet class . I actually had a 04 CRF450 for a while and thought it to be the ticket (sold it since I couldn't race this year) . Anyways , not having any real experience with four strokes , the maintenance issues that have been mentioned are a real eye opener . Maybe a new 250 2-stroke, with a bigbore kit ?.......... Thanks Eric !..
That noise issue , just hand out ear plugs to everybody else....
