I know if you enjoy street bikes, you most likely got your start on a dirt bike. I am just curious how many of you still own a motocross bike?

Unfortunately, I no longer own a motocross bike. I sold my YZ 125 two years ago, and I regret it everyday!

I love to ride street bikes.they are so good.we can have fun on it.

I still focus on dirtbike, and even offroad racing. I feel it is a good way to continue to introduce folks to motorcycling. A good way to safely teach someone to ride,use the clutch, braking,slide control,etc. I also feel, the industry should continue to develope 2 stroke technology , to minimize emissions, and KEEP OPERATING COSTS LOW ! Adding 4 strokes to MX, was a BAD idea, IMO. What dad wants to spend $1500 for junior's engine rebuild , as opposed to $700. for his YZ85 ? Who can afford it ? Maybe that's some of the reason starting gates are thinning down ... and maybe fuel costs, but I ain't goin into politics ...I'm certain it plays a part ...Yamaha doesn't still sell RT100s ,or DT200s do they ? In the US ? We need to impeach the EPA ! Direct injection is the answer ...and straighten out the AMA racing classification, so 250s all run together... etc.Nuke Honda's relationship w AMA too , while we're at it...politics everywhere, because of money/greed ! PFFFTT ! Libs !

Nice thread and post too.

now I'm a hypocrite ! I couldn't pass up a $700. 04 YZ450F that runs ! It ain't pretty, but you get what you pay for... it needs work, and cosmetics, but hopefully it won't kill me when I ride it @ Budds Creek before the end of the season ! Yippeee !

I still love my 2 strokes ! ...

Nice post and thread too.

I like to ride on street bike, it will gives me a lots of entertainment and fun, i am happy with my bike.
