New Toy - Supermoto

[CRM]

After the CRM showed me it needed a rebuild after 3 years use on track - and after looking at alternatives like KTM, CRF's and so on - i have bought a new bike.

a road registered 2007 CR250 for shit's 'n giggles.
New supermoto wheels ordered, a fresh top end, i am looking forward to trying this out on track very soon.

i will do a build thread when i start
i did consider 4 stroke alternatives, and lets be honest a CFR450X is road legal, reliable, fast and ticks all the box's except one - it's a 4 stroke
that excites me as much about making toast.
half of my trackdays are classic bike trackdays and to be eligable for these the bike needs to be a pre 1995 (or at least be a 2 stroke that was in production at this point - the CR was and they are happy for me to run it even although mines a 2007)
and i always had the urge to put a CR250 on the road - no idea why, perhaps this is why i took to the CRM so well.
Anyway i will have to get used to premix fuel and ratio's at petrol stations, and replacing top ends every few hours riding. i reckon these case induction engines should see a rebuild in 3 hours tops. keep a stock of OE or Wiseco pistons on the shelf in stock lol

really not sure, if the CR is ready then that, if not then maybe the RVF or the RD or gamma or something old and wobby
i am in novice this time so can enjoy a nice chilled sedate pace on something ancient.

remember to add the gypo (me) to the entrance list, hopefully i'll have the MV by then but it'll be nice to go up and ust watch without any option to go one track
