1 recall on the KX250F and you're telling us that they're holding 'em? I guess I need to give the one in my garage back? Let's see, add Al. washers and Voila...fixxed! The Hondas on the other-hand... :D

Oh, and, before you get all "Red" and pumped up...do you remember the cracked frames in '97-'98 (You know, those Aluminum ones you're so proud of)? The blown 450F motors in '02(Uh, as posted on TT...)...or do you "Red" guys like to forget about your own closet? :D

You know, I see a lot more YZ-Fs winning local events than I do CR-Fs...and I'm a Green guy! :)

Kawasucki...please, what you gonna do when Bubba runs over your red midget? :D

Just messin' with ya,

Manny :D

naw i dont have anything against the kawi's but if you got an early addition i'd talk to your dealer and ask him whats up. cause they arn't supposed to bring them out until later to make changes on them so...the honda dealer said when they do finally come out there gonna be really trick bikes and kick the yamahas ass ....but anyhow james stewart is so good cause hes not afraid on anything hell blast a berm wide open in 5th, and those bikes on the factory level are alot differnent from the stock versions so you cant say like yamahas are the best cause chad reed was doing good in supercross...but hey ricky still won the championship so take that yamaha... :)
o ya and i've been flaging the nationals and other local events and umm there a s**t load more crf450 than yz-f's

Ain't it funny when a "Red-ophiliac" gets his panties in a twist about the Green-Blue-Yellow bikes. I love it. :D

Oh, and the guys at Kawi might want to know where you got this "Insider information" so that they can find out what the HE!! you're talking about. :D

Now, keep waiting for that Red dream of yours. And keep the Red faith... :D

Manny :D
p.s....brucifer nailed it, you guys buy your champs...always have. Kawasaki raises theirs. :)

umm ok what about honda and mike allesi... the only way kawa's get young riders is by giving them discounts on the bikes ...i know cause my friend got a call from them, cause he was winning national events on a honda and they gave him a kawi for free... and whats the best selling 4 stroke 450? o ya honda

hondacr250r... grow up. Let me guess... 16 years old? "Dude, my bike is red, so it's the best." Loser. If Ricky (you're hero) was riding a Yamaha (or kawasaki or suzuki), he'd still be winning. And if he were racing you on your Honda, you'd still be losing. Un-knot those panties, grab a glass of warm milk, and hit the sack. It's bed time kiddo.

hondaCRF250R,

Hey kid,

Where do you get your statistics? Why don't you tell me, exactly, how many CRFs v. YZF/WRFs have been sold. uh, that's right, it's your "CRF" against BOTH of the other models...or don't you keep up. You see, princess, the indusrty keeps tabs this way due to the fact that plenty of CRFs get bought for "Off-road" use and, of-course, your "RED Wonder Company" hasn't seen fit to make an "Off-road" version of your beloved CRF450R... :D

Oh, and for the record...Yamaha released the WRF right along-side the YZF. I know, I got one in the spring of '98 while you where in the 5th grade...

Hey kid, you still didn't answer me on all the "Blown-up" '02s or those cracked frames? Haven't you gotten your latest "Honda Geek" bulletin? Hey, does Honda even MAKE a 125? :D I didn't see any in the 125 Nat's! Saw a lot of Orange, Green, Blue and Yellow, though! :D

Oh, and about your completely DUMBA$$ statement about the "Team Green" program; That's right junior, KAWASAKI has a support program for ameteurs...THIS IS A BAD THING? :D

When's the last time your beloved "RED" company showed up at an ameteur event with a support truck/parts and assistance for those last minute emergencies at the track? You know, like when you cartwheel and snap a perch or lever and you need one NOW! Where's your "Team Red" truck?

Get straight kid! :D EVERYONE makes good bikes; However, some companies support their products BETTER than OTHERS. Some companies DON'T support their products AT ALL!

I think this is just another one of those lessons you're going to have to learn on the track. :D

Remember this "discussion" when that little kid smokes you on a YZ85...and you'll be wondering why your RC Graphics Kit didn't give you the extra H/P to pass him! Cigar Smoking Wood-pecker....perfect! You probably don't even get it... :D :D :D :)

The Kawasakis are out, I've seen them raced locally. Haven't seen the Suzuki though. Its funny, they both have a Suzuki engine, so I bet there are going to be a ton of blown tranny questions in the next few months. Honda will wait until it has a competitive reliable bike before they release it, they know how important 250fs are.

I, for one will be waiting until i hear some more about the kawazukis. I really want a 125 size bike for screwing around, but i cant seem to find any 250Fs except for the yamaha. RMXC51, anyone got one of the kawazukis in regina? the bike dealers in Saskatoon are completely F^%&ing useless for anything, maybe battleford? I want to see one, hopefully ride it, before i can make any kind of descision. My blood is red, so ill be waiting for the honda before deciding, just want to know what else is out there.

Got that Red thing yet?

Hmmmm, little race in Canada? O.K., I see, you fast guys have all the answers.

Now, go have your cookies and milk and go to bed. Enjoy those "Dreams" guys.

Oh, and Princess...you better order that "R.C. Replica Kit" before the bikes come out...that way you can look like ALL those other "Dreamers"... :D :)

Hey, where are the blown trannies? Hmmmm...oh, ya, there out at the Honda Proving Grounds! :D :D :D :D :D :D

Knuckleheads!

Manny....why don't you offer something positive?
Try it, you might just earn some respect.

You related to Unzy?

Right, respect...like I'm going to respect the opinion of an obviously ill-informed Honda-phile that's spoutin' off about product failures that he "heard" from a Honda dealer?

Kawasaki product failures...from a Honda dealer that said the Kawasaki, in my garage(!?), was being held from delivery? Please! The only hold backs that I've "heard" are from you Honda guys...and it's about your Honda P.O.S. tranny problems.

Or haven't you been following this thread that belongs over at "CRF250R"?

Or "that little race in Canada" statement that you and the Honda Circle of Friends chimed in on as if EVERY one of the participants wouldn't leave you at the starting line... :)

That kinda respect?

Ya, thought so... :D

Here's some respect. I'll bet that the X model is the best 250F Enduro. I'll bet that it's going to be in BIG demand. I'll also bet that R.C. wins the 250s again...And no, not on the 450...! He and Bubba are the BEST! How's that...

Oh, and just when, exactly, is a "Real" production bike gonna make it to a shoot-out? Or are they gonna keep showin' up with pre-prod bikes? :D

Respectfully,

Manny :D
