I thought I read somewhere (maybe Transworld) that the 2009 CRF250R will have E.F.I.
That's why I was asking.

Nope.

I've personally looked at the specs for the 09' CRF250 and it is still carburated.

In Japan...it's a different story.

True...Just like Suzuki still makes 2 strokes just no longer available for the US.

You're crazy man!

Running the pipe like that is genius.

I think the bike is incredibly sick looks except for the front fender. Hondas always look good, but these are just hot. I hated the white rear fender the first time I saw it, but now I love it. It makes me want a big bike!

All the haters said FI was stupid when Suzuki did it on their race ATVs and then their race bikes, but look at everybody following their footsteps now. And "suddenly" FI is a good idea to the haters.

SUZUKIRM12594 · 09-14-2008, 06:01 PM

Ya the pipe doesnt protrude as I expected, it actually hugs up against the frame so ya...Like I said before, I sorta hated the bike when I saw these pics of it but up close, I LIKE!!!

magiksc · 09-14-2008, 07:02 PM

I'm diggin' it... all but the exhuast and front number plate. Plus they got the efi programmer

kawasakicoby125 · 09-14-2008, 07:06 PM

i could understand it flowing better but man its gonna get rapped by roost.

SUZUKIRM12594 · 09-14-2008, 07:11 PM

A pipe guard will do the trick...They might even come out with some stylish carbon fiber guards.

no joke, that pipe will be done in a couple of months, because it has so much surface area to get dented. not a very smart design if u ask me

It's more of a handling thing. Running the pipe that way centralizes the weight, making it more manuverable.

How is that exhaust 2-stroke like?

Okay... If the bend makes the exhaust 2-stroke like I don't get it. Long smooth bends are much better than sharp bends. I'm sure Honda had a reason to route the exhaust like that - like more torque maybe...

SUZUKIRM12594 · 09-14-2008, 07:57 PM

These are perfectly logical reasons why honda might have designed the pipe that way:

"It gives you the correct tuned lenght in combination with the shorter silencer which centralizes the mass better."

"Running the pipe that way centralizes the weight, making it more manuverable."

JoeMick93 · 09-14-2008, 08:24 PM

I like these except for the rear fender, Idunno I might just hafto get used to the white
