[QUOTE="nikki, post: 1030140, member: 18126"] highflyernick - why the switch.... lots of reasons. My husband switched from Yamaha thumpers to Honda thumpers back in '02, and has been trying to get me on a Honda ever since. Plus most all of our riding buddies are on them too. And Service Honda is one of the top Honda shops in the nation (home of killer custom bikes by DRN Mod AJ Waggoner - like the CR 500 AF, CR 500 AFX, and the CRF 250 JR) so what better place to get a new ride. Mainly, having access to Honda parts, having good support, and yeah, a change is nice too. I considered a new '06 YZF but the reviews weren't up to my liking (like the '06 is said to lack low-end punch like the previous Yamaha 250F's), and the CRF just handles so nice. Lastly, I've owned blue, yellow, and green bikes... time to give a red one a try. And after my ride yesterday, I'm very happy with my decision. Now, I just hope the valves hold up as well as my Yamaha 250F, which never had a valve out of clearance in the three years I had it. I should have taken a picture of the track yesterday around 3 pm - we already had three inches of snow! I can't wait to see some palm trees on Thursday! JP and 547, 70's and 80's sound awesome! rickyd - I can't really tell a difference (yet) with the twin pipes in the bike balance, don't really have enough time on it yet. But Red had no problem staying nice and straight on it while hammering through a long whoop section. Probably helps that he's 6'4" though! :ride: [/QUOTE]
