Not to be a "stick-in-the-mud", but the picture of that new CRF made me pucker and go into delirious tremors. A horrible ownership experience with an '09 CRF 250R is one of the main reasons why I'm 100% Husky now. For Honda owners' sake, I hope the EFI makes the bike easier to start. It took Robocop to get our CRF fired-up... and if you fell and it quit... BAH! forget it! push it to the pits. I also hope the EFI cures the ridiculous bog that plagued the CRF 250R's since their inception. Ahh yes, and then there's the wonderful "twin spar" aluminum frame. The frame that makes it impossible to do ANYTHING to the bike without disassembling it almost completely! Honda. Nope.
Honda's are the best quality and designed bikes in the world. I'm sure of it as i read it on the Internet. I don't hate CRF's but would never own one. I hate aluminum perimeter frames for how hard they are to work on. Don't like how CRF's turn. Don't want to deal with the valves issues. Now for street bikes I love my Honda VTR1000 and never had to do anything to it.
My '09 CRF 250R never ran well enough for me to have to deal with the short-lived valves!... Oooooops, unless you count the fact that the intakes came out of the box set WRONG! Honda. NOT!!!
