| Re: Got me my new toy today.(PICS) Nice bike!
I think the F stands for "fun" as opposed to more of a race version. |

| Re: Got me my new toy today.(PICS) Rider and Dee: The CR's are 2-smokes and the CRF's are four-strokes. The best part about the 05 CRF250R is that it only weighs 204 pounds.

| Re: Got me my new toy today.(PICS) No they still make the XR's, they classify them as the "off-road" bike, whereas ther CRF's and CR's are their "motocross" bikes.

I almost don't want to get her dirty  . I rode it all of 20 feet last night on the driveway into the garage so she's still a virgin. I'll be busting that cherry soon  .

Let me know if you want to go. Hollister opens back up Oct 1. Unless you want to head up to Tahoe for a day. http://ohv.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=21928
Sorry for the threadjack.

The high temps got up to 90 towards the end of the week and everyone was calling it a heat wave.  The low humidity was nice, but I can do without the constant threat of wildfires.
Sorry; nice bike Reaper!

| Re: Got me my new toy today.(PICS)  I can't help but laugh at the heat reference....come on out to Tucson and ride here when it's 105 outside, then you can go back to Cali and realize how well off you are.
Mr.X...you can ride it anytime you want. Just let me know when you're on the way over
