Well I am def gonna build a 4 stroke next year, so what should I do with the R's..??

Option 1. Sell the Laeger and Build a YZF, and keep the stock framed MX R.

Opt. 2. Keep the Laeger and part out and keep what I can from the other R and build a YZF

Opt. 3. Keep the Stock framed MX R and sell the Laeger frame and motor and buy a YZF chassis/motor.

In the end I want to have an MX R and an YZF...just what I have to go about selling to get them is the question.

It's definate that yamaha is going to build another 4-stroke with on of the yzf motors (prolly the 450f).
And its just hard to deny that honda will now with all the rumors.
Like I said, ride (and fix) the Laeger R or stock framed R (sell the other) for the rest of the year, and see what happens

nothing honda or yamaha makes is gonan be as fast as a yzf or crf hybrid, if ur racing nationals maybe waiting would be good but if i was ud id build a crf or yzf and sell both of them

This pains me to say it but don't wait for Honda to give you a CRF-powered quad out of the factory for at least another year. Hold off on building a YZF-powered quad for just another week or two until Yamaha announces their new machine, it'll have the engine you're looking for;) It may likely be detuned but what quad engine isn't? That's why we've got the aftermarket:D

jay heres what i say...

throw the practice R motor into ur laeger 250r and stay the hell outta the mud:grr: haha... race that bike untill the HP national is over in mid june... after that yammys new quad will be out... check out what the motor is in it... for all u know laeger and walsh mayb will make a 500 link frame to put that motor in... we don't know what the motor is yet and it mayb a YZ450F not detuned and built stronger to hold a quads beating... just wait 2 weeks...


guyz jay wants to keep a 500 link an narrow front end 250r style quad... jay loves his new R so i know he won't be switchin to a differnt style quad... if it don't say 500 link R on it he won't own it... am i right jay:huh haha

Tommy's right...
If it don't look like an R or handle like one, I don't want it. Something bout the R just feels right and looks right. I definitely want a CR500 linkage style rear end.

BY THE WAY, MY PAUL TURNER MOTOR IS IN AND I'M RACING TOMORROW.

If I can get some monitary sponsors, and my dad to help me out w/ the YZF, I am going to keep the Laeger R and build a YZF. So I will have 2 race ready quads, 2 and 4 stroke. I can't get the R outa my blood, maybe the motor (not 100% out) but not it's looks and handling.

And I like all the customizing and building up a new race bike. It's so much fun doing it yourself.
