Black '08 CRF 450

no, the 125 yammies rail.

the 250f's on the other hand arent bad by any means, just not up to par with honda. If you have a yamaha 250f....JUNK THE FRONT TIRE IF IT IS STOCK.

But, I dont think any of us are pros. Pick a color and ride

Oh yes....it will be mine.

Well it might be red but in a few weeks there will be one in my garage.

Now anyone want a '06 yz 450?

What do you like about the honda that the yammie doesnt have? =/

I jumped on the honda and did it with much less effort.

I was also impressed with the turning capibilities of the bike, my bike has a center out push that is irritating to me the honda carved.

Ill trade you a 125 for that old junker you call a 450

Heck now you will have a play bike.

The fact that the '08 Yamaha is even mellower then my '06 is one factor, that and I just want a change I think.

Trust me, Jim. Get a Michelin S12 for the front and that sucker will carve even better. Our whole crew runs them. You may even get a chance to ride one of ours if you need convincing.

We won't honestly know 'til the week of. We've been wanting to ride Red Bud. Doesn't look like it's open that weekend but that's not really the issue. It's a work thing. Gotta play it by ear.

Jim, how much time do you have on that 06 450 and what's it worth to you?

Shoot me a PM will you.

***Woody_393*** · #96 02-03-2008, 03:13 AM

Oh the pains... I really need to call the not so local honda dealer and see if they have a black one. They really DO look sharp. Sharp enough to get one.

Ahh yes, 2fun, but we all know you can't ride without training wheels so it's all good

Well its not gonna be black, those darn things are all gone around this area, checked with 6 shops, and the place I am buying mine called over 12, no luck.

Wednesday is the day though headed over first thing in the morning.
