being that cheese is overseas, i will reply with what he has told me.

the bikes are rather flimsy feeling compared to others, hondas for example, have a couple of crashes on a yamaha and it looks rooted, have a couple of crashes on anything else and its still sweet. also the riding position is odd

WTF?The plastics do frost up easy but at least Yamahas dont crack around the frame and the engines last as long if not longer than most so wats the prob? So wat if it doesnt look pretty after you slam it into a bank at 100kph at least you know it will be in one peice......Some bars would fix the riding possion im shure.

mines been droped heaps still looks mint but at least yamahas dont have the valve probs that the crfs had

I'm back........

Looking now, got cash burning a hole in my pocket!

Sx250 would be mint sound like you want the cr though because not steal frame. Stay 2 stroke less maintenance, when you buy just check all bearings and that for play and listen for noises and all that stuff make sure your getin a mint bike.

Yeah I've had a yamaha and a suzuki and I'd like to get a Honda. Honda have great reputations as bike builders and I've never really heard anyone complaining about there CR (other than jeremy).

The think that is pointing me more towards the honda now is that I can get a bike for about 5-6k, then I can spend some money on a pipe, jetting and just for kicks a bottom end rebuild adn maybe the wheel bearings etc. I think that way I have a bike taht I know all teh parts are new and it's good to go.

Have fun chasing the right jetting.
