MXP1MP said:it only made like 38 max in 85, it just was considered "fast" cause it had a really strong mid range hit. The 86 was actually better :) it had a better broader smoother power band us non pro's apperciated more plus better suspenion and ergo's! You sure that hp figure is right on the '87 CR 250 I thought it was more like 38.5ish that bike was very fast but it's hard to ride a 250 all out it was all mid/top the 86 was easier to ride I liked it's broader motor more. I also really liked the 88 RM 250 (bob hannah model if ya ask me) that was an awesome bike is terms is suspenion motor was average then. I liked the 89 YZ 250 vs the 88 musta been those USD forks (they was trick then) Damn i've ridden alot of bikes. hmmm maybe it's time for a 250 again.

His bike, his gear, his truck are all from the late 80's and he has to be in his late 30's early 40's. This guy flat out flys on the track. He came in 3rd in the 250 expert class and was in a bike length or two of second place. The first and second place guys were riding 450's and he was riding an old CR250.
His bike looked stock. Stock seat cover, stock pipe, rear drum brake, and neon blue grips. So I would say that older bikes will always be as competative as rider who rides it.

JasonWho said:Casper, thanks for the pic! It looks like an '87 to me. It has a rear disc. I think the '86 had drum brakes, but I don't know for sure.
jon316- why do you say he has an 80's style? I am purely trying to learn here, not making any jokes at all. Thanks
