My Ride!

It’s Here!!!

2006 YZF250 Yes, thanks to the awesome guys and gals at GA Checkpoint I am the proud owner of a new YZF250. I have had this bike since December of 2005 and have enjoyed every minute aboard it.

The bike is sweet and feels very light and nimble. Is it better than previous models of the YZF250 that I have had? Well that is a hard question to answer however a new bike is always nice to ride and when you work hard you deserve to treat yourself. ! I have spent a lot of time over the last few months dialing in this awesome machine. What can I say the better I get the more this thing allows me to do. I love it!

2004 YZF 250

I love this bike! I started riding three years ago on a 99 Rm 125. This on/off switch of a bike was great to learn on the track with, however I hated it in the trails. 6 months later I bought a 2002 WR 250F. This bike doubled my pleasure as most of the riding I do is tight trail riding. This past summer right before my first ever motocross race, I traded up to a YZF 250. This bike is so awesome, however I was glad that I had the time on my WR to learn before having to deal with the faster pace of the YZF. The biggest thing I notice from the two bikes is the 25 pounds of weight, which is a big deal for a guy like me pushing 135 pounds. This bike is easy to care for and maintain.

2003 KDX 200

My Girlfriend Kim rips it up on a 2003 KDX 200

Yes, it has finally happened. We have found a perfect bike for Kim. Let me just say that her riding has elevated to a new level because of her first bike a CRF 150. The 150 is so fun and easy to master so she has enjoyed every step along the way to becoming a full blown ripper. The only reason to move to a new bike is to have bigger wheels, better suspension and what else…more power. There is a real missing link in the dirt bike market for smaller guys or woman who want a bike that is full size, but isn’t a heavy monster. We feel that we have found that in the KDX200.

First, this bike weighs in at 223 pounds which is not much more that her previous bike was - a CRF150. It has a 2 stroke engine but runs more like a four stroke. After riding this bike only a few times, I am so pumped on the easy roll on power which allows you to dial in technical trails, and the turbo powerband which opens up at half throttle. I could not believe when Kim hopped on this and kicked it the first time and was off riding technical stuff. The only initial difficulty was the height which we have solved using Normon Kouba’s “Koubas Links”. These links are made for the KDX and lower the bike 1.6 inches. We also shaved the seat a little and this bike sits an inch higher than her 150 and about the same as a Yamaha TTR-230.

Modifications on the CRF150:

CRF 50 Handle Bars, these work awesome at moving the bars up for when standing.
Jetted to 100 from 98
Removed Snorkel
Changed front cog to 12 teeth from 13
Removed the baffle from the muffler
