Never owned a Honda

Me either but did many laps on the one behind me here at the 2004 state championship

Great bike, super easy to ride.

No way. They're horribly tuned and unrideable. Least that's what the internet says. Hope they're wrong.

Ps, I'm good with ken or eli for the championship. Would be cool to see ken finally get one.

What was it? in 2006, 07, 08 the carbed ones - they rocked

I had one before all you followers jumped on board!

My first ever ride on it was at....LoConn!!! I remember I had my Yamaha YZ250 pretty dialed in for me. The suspension on the CRF was sooooo bad....I remember talking to BWR and saying I wasn't sure he would be able to make it work...but he did.

Didn't you post that you already got yours re-mapped?

How did it run stock?

 

[MarctheSharc]

Yeah, the suspension was bad..
And we were still kicking - and loving it !

It's your fault I even bought one because I rode yours at scenic.

I took mine to be mapped before I even started it. Still haven't rode it lol.. anywhere open this weekend?

Ive had 02, 03, 08, 17 and now this 21.. I loved them all. The 08 was killer and the 17 resembled the 08.

Who mapped it for you?

 

[Meister]

Tim Dettling at TDR Motorsports in Mogadore.

He's well known in the quad world working with Hondas.

So the Öhlins on the one I got ride was a good thing?

Closest I ever got to riding red... a 1986 CR125 was my first dream bike, but since I wasn't funding the purchase, this is what I settled on. The rest is green...well, except for a quick stint with a 1991 RM125 I traded for the wife's 4 wheeler...
