[QUOTE="Uchytil, post: 1408353, member: 43803"] Pretty sure about this? I saw you posted awhile back about this. Well, if you are sure you are looking at EVO/Vintage stuff. You need to look at early 80's or back up to the 70's and earlier. Let's say you got a 1982 CR, there's a bike with a cylinder that need to be bored out (up to .080 over was max I think). Boring over was not always a good thing because now you lose mass that helps with heat transfer not that it really mattered I guess. The materials used in the earlier bikes, ie. magnesium, low grade aluminum played hell with coolant passages also so finding a good engine is always tough (most people ran tap water which added to the fire and brimstone). Why don't you just find a decent trail bike - like an XR250/400. Aircooled, low maintenance, fun to ride, some people even run them on a track now and then for fun. Lots to condsider. Now, if you think todays bikes are what you want you'll be dealing with a far superior technology that lasts longer with less problems than yesteryear - plating. [/QUOTE]
