    My new toy

    I already have a 250. If I wanted stupid speed, i'd hop on that. The 125 is for riding, not just insane speed runs.

    My new toy

    Hmmm....lighting coil, $140.....

    Dual sport kit with headlight, taillight, brake switches, directionals is $430.....

    3.1 gallon gas tank is $139....



    This could be a fun dual sporter after all!

    I wonder if she can be running and registered by the Gap? KB and FTrain may have some competition

    I bet that old Yam RIPS! The horsepower thing has been pretty damn good for a long time with the 2 strokes. Most gains have been in reliability and making broader powerbands and maybe a little in the ultra high end.

    Suspension has become more focused for sure.

    I'd wager it'll keep up with quite a few newer two fiddy's and most 450 strokers in a straight line.....

    It is really rediculous, so much motor!

    A 450f will walk any 250 smoker in a straight line.

    And, that radiator is in the wrong place.

    Actually, I think it's spelled "I'm McBiggity and I need to get my ass to clayton's house to ride dirt cause he has two dirtbikes now and can only ride one at a time and i like to eat poop and pee. "

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    Question Well, it's home.

    So I drive up to White River Junction in the pouring rain. Meet up with Jason (nice guy) who was selling the bike. Load it into the truck. He says he can't get it to run without jump starting it. Ok, so here I am thinking "Yeah, original top end and tires, it may need some work but for the money, it's still worth it". He gives me a pair of riding boots, 2 jersey's, 2 pair of gloves, knee armor, chest padding, and nice Fox riding pants. Oh, and a stand and a case of redbull (he got 4 cases of beer as part of the deal, us beverage guys know how to do it).

    So I get it home. Pull it off the truck. Turn on the gas (it has plenty in the tank). Kick it over. Nothing. Kick it some more. Nothing. Seems to have decent compression though...hmmmm.



    Here she sits. Then I pull the plug out to investigate quickly before dinner is ready.



    Is that an Iridium tip plug or something? Looks weird....may as well replace it.



    That's much better! So I put it in.

    I got pissed at another non running bike so I proceded to kick it. Twice.



    Wouldn't you know it, the damn thing started smoking and making this funny noise! Even after I stop choking it after only 5 seconds!



    Total $ spent on a MINT 2001 Honda CR125 with ORIGINAL TIRES that look brand new, ORIGINAL SPARK PLUG and all sorts of extras that now runs like a brand new bike?

    $1004.35

    The spark plug was $4.35. And four cases of beer.



    LET'S RIDE!!!!!!

    Clean that pipe, it's nasty looking

    Always carry a couple extra plugs with you, it's the nature of the beast to foul them.

    Now get to work on street plating that thing
