A cr125 sits taller than a cr250. Are you looking for a street legal bike to ride to school ?

WHAT????? do you have any idea of what you are talking about your saying that a cr 250 has less power than a cr125???? Where do you get your facts from a dirt bike with twice as much displacemnet is gonig to produce less power? That like saying my bayou can kick some serious 400ex bottom. WHICH IT CAN'T!
And a cr250's power band will come on alot soon and SMOOTHER than a 125 due to a higher horsepower motor. And with a 125 you have to rev the arse off it for it to get into the power band while on a 250 you can lug it around no prob. DAMN i love telling people off lol :devil

my cr250 is always in the power band. nothing like a banshees power band at all. WHen you gas it, its there. you better hang the *** on. today i went and started it up after a month of sittin. took it up my cuzins alley gave it all it had in first, my stomache sucked right up. whoever has ridden a 250 knows what im talkin about..
