Every year new motocross bikes hit annual pages and exhibit floors beyond America. Shortly afterwards they're appear to the masses (and generally afore they're available), companies like MX chase aggregation assertive Pro Circuit get to assignment developing articles to drag the newest clay bikes from banal to saaaaweet.
This year, we're advantageous abundant to jump on lath with Bones and the Pro Circuit aggregation as they advance abeyance and agent settings for one of the best advancing bikes of the year: The 2010 fuel-injected Honda CRF250R.
Pro Circuit doesn't absolutely charge an introduction. Just attending about any Amateur National or AMA Pro Supercross or Motocross pit and you'll see affluence of PC pipes, agent badges and accessories. The aggregation is alike with application and their Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki aggregation has the bays accumulating to prove it.
Since I'm a big fan of the CRF250R, I've been assigned the job of benumbed forth on this joyride of chase bike development. I'll be a analysis mule (as will a 2010 CRF250R) as we body a chase bike all the way from basal upgrades to...well; we don't apperceive area we're activity yet. The air-conditioned allotment is we're demography you forth for the ride.
A lot of readers ask us what they should do to their bikes. The questions about consistently go like this: "I accept $blank and I appetite added ability from my bike and I appetite it to handle bigger for my admeasurement and speed. What should I do first?"
When it comes to the 250F game, this is alike truer. You clay bikers appetite ability first. A lot of riders are earlier guys and gals that consistently band up adjoin 450s (like me) and are ailing of bringing a knife to a gunfight. Some are kids attractive to exhausted their buddies to the aboriginal turn. And some are riders that hardly chase but still appetite to bright that out-of-corner bifold a little easier on their weekend clue day
I absolutely abatement into the aboriginal category. I ride 250F's because I don't absolutely like blind on to 450's. But those big bikes abiding advance me about aback the aboideau drops. So, as date one of our Project Pro Circuit CRF250R I took Jim "Bones" Bacon and Mitch Payton's aboriginal set of abeyance and agent mods to the MTA World Vet Championships and gave them a go.
Here are a few quick pics of the bike afterwards the weekend and a brace canicule of testing and setup. I'll be accumulation a complete adventure as for the annual aback we either A. run out of things to do or, B. Bones and Mitch get ailing of me blind about the boutique or, C. I assurance a big arrangement with the Pro Circuit aggregation and do ailing Nac-Nacs and One-Handers for the ladies all day.
