What bike should I get?

**Danger** · 16th April 2007, 15:29

The 05-07 CR's have been very hard to get jetted right and to stop detonating. They don't have a wide powerband like the other brands and are more like an angry 125. They are very tempermental jetting wise.

I'm looking quite seriously at a 04 CR250 that is pretty mint. It's been in storage for 18 months (legit resons) and so it's like a new bike. For a little over 5k It would be a mint bike.

I do think that I read somewhere that the porting on the 05 onwards CRs was nuts like that. I'll see If I can find the mag on it tonight and have a read.

Maybe I should get that 06 KTM 250 SX.........

LOL hey Chop that mate of yours Mike, and he was out with the guy that is sorting out this KX (Team manager for team green) for me so I managed to find out I can't see it till Saturday.

What a mission!!

His CR sounds pretty good for the price, but I really want something a little bit newer!!

Oh and failing all of this the original KTM I found is there as a back up.

**dammad1** · 24th April 2007, 19:03

Go KTM and you'll never look back!

**GR81** · 24th April 2007, 19:28

**cheese** · 24th April 2007, 21:07

**Reckless** · 24th April 2007, 21:36

hey Cheese its me from the fly wheel thread. I might just be able to return all the good help you gave me!!!
Speaking of CR's
My 01' CR250 honda is a good bike. I do all my own maintenance and I must say the build quality is really good. And I have spent years karting with many types of hot 125 engines on avgas and methanol. Never worked on a honda till the CR and it looks like it was built to "last and go fast" not just go fast. Probably why they are not wining everything. Same with the CBR1000rr as well i think . And thats a Kawasaki man talking!

To get to the point when I was talking to Tjebee at Bruin he said he had a late model KTM 300 for sale. You might like to give him a call. He gave the bikes big wraps.
