No worries....at least you didnt say maybe I should buy something else, like one guy did when he found out I was a girl, riding a 2 stroke 250 road bike. Because apparently a girl cant really make full use of one!

Are new 2 smokers greedy on fuel? I had a 93 CRM250 and I could use 15 litres in about 3-4 hours. Not sure if it was because it was greedy or needed reconditioned and tuned or all of the above. A day's riding on RMZ and I don't think I use more than 3/4 of a tank. Just as well as I chose it for it's fuel economy. :rolleyes:

They're K8's...which are exactly the same as K9's...and L0's.

Let me know if you'd like one...$7995.00 brand new! Pretty hard to beat.

ahah, are you comparing a 450 to a 250 stroker,two very different bike there,i swore after giving my mrs;s a go on my 2t a couple years ago to never do it (or atleast sign a waver claiming zero responsability) again, i shut my eyes as she finaly hooked second and gave it a hand full! there were snkies for abt 30 mtrs down the beach before it finally flicked her of the back,it was madness!

Am I comparing a 250 smoker to a 2010 RMZ450? Hell yeah. An RMZ450 has more torque...more power...and is waaaaaaaaaaay faster (especially on the sand) than ANY 250 smoker ever will be. They hook up better than a 2 stroke and will wheelstand in top if you give them a wee tug on the bars even in the soft stuff in top.

Rach had my 450 bouncing of the rev limiter in every gear down the beach...she'll be fine as long as she doesn't try and get too fancy when the traction is good.

Nah,for the 2 stroke riders to start defending their machines with an eyepatch covering one of their eyes,whilst running down 4 strokes with a passion in the process:whistle:

They have three very good points.

1: Cost of maintenance.

2: Ease of maintenance.

3: Weight or lack thereof.

Being a two stroke fan from way back...I'll even add smell.

As good as modern 4 strokes are...I'll forever miss two strokes too.

Nice one! Is that the actual bike...or a sample pic?

I started out at 10 with an (don't piss yaself) and RV125. Got an RM125 @13, an RM400 @15. Back to a KX125 when I started racing. Then I had about 6 or 7 KX500's. Even started road racing on smokers. Kawasaki KR1's...then onto an RS250 Honda! So you see...I'm a fan, and always have been a smoker fan. But now for, in the dirt (for me anyway)...an RMZ450 is THE best dirtbike I've ever ridden!

Nope...that's so she can learn to ride a bike properly in sand therefore be a much better all round rider. We'll be getting her sideways at high speeds flat track style. I've ridden in sand all of my life and my bikes have never been a problem. It's all about preparing them for sand usage...and caring for them properly after using them in sand. It really is THE most fun you can have on a dirtbike!

Yerp! girls eh!- two pairs of pants in one day!- mine last all week:oi-grr:

If you will ride on the beach LANOCOAT is an awesome airosol product made from lanoline- its the duck nuts for stopping bolts rusting and alloy frosting from the slight salt that will always be left after you wash it.
