My buddy had a 93 YZ 250 when I had my 90 CR 250. The YZ had a much smoother engine, the suspension was twice as good and it was much more refined overall. I preferred the grunt and handling of the CR but I was faster on his bike because of that suspension. Great video.

Great timing! Picked up a 93 rm250 yesterday to go with my 90 and 91.

My second bike was a 93 yz 250 most of the opinions from the magazines are spot on. It was a very forgiving bike but highly maintenance intensive, I went through top ends frequently but of course it was a 8 year old machine by then…still kept up with the new bike of the time

This was the year I fell in love with riding! I was on an 80 at the time, but seeing these bikes bring back many fond memories. Thanks for doing these videos, I love watching 👍

I personally owned a 1993 Honda CR250 with all pro circuit aftermarket parts and I'll tell you what it was a freaking rocket !

PA here. Brother in law had an 89 KX that we rode the wheels off . It had been set up to ride tight trails here. It was a blast. This was in 1998. 250's are a blast. Love the time capsule vids you put out

That 1993 KTM 250 was so so so so good. People were all about the hype of the 1992 thru 1996 Honda CR250's but give me that 1993 KTM250 all over again. They messed it up in 1994 and 1995 (the 1992 with the old body style was also good). That 1993 KTM250 had so much bottom end and it pulled up until the upper midrange and that is exactly where I ride in the powerband. Gosh I have an absolutely perfect 1992 Suzuki RM250 that is done up to look like a 1990 Suzuki RM250 and with my 1992 Suzuki RM250 being in absolutely perfect condition and you could lick it and not get a germ, I would trade it for an only "GOOD" condition 1993 KTM 250 in a heart beat.

The shop i worked at in the 90,s sold a heap of the RM,s . I hated all of the crossers from this era as the need for everyone to try and capture the massively popular US supercross title ruined the bikes for the choppy hard pack, faster/enduro type riding we were doing in Australia. All of these things were slappy liabilities with loads of stiction in the forks that beat your wrists to death. And that horrible kiehin PK made the bikes that used it run as rich as oprah down low. Not my favourite era. On the upside, replacing fork seals paid the bills!

I have a 1994 yz250 as my first bike. I come from quads. And it's amazing power is forgiving but not lacking. Suspensions great and turns amazing. Only thing I've found due to me being a lighter rider (130lbs) the front end tends to float at high speed

Ktm's where unfairly judged by the u.s. magazines when it came to mx tests. Influenced greatly by advertisements in the magazine. Or in Ktm's case lack of. They couldn't get around the mx track and suddenly couldn't brake and felt odd. But offroad tests where the complete opposite. Its funny now looking back at the totally obvious bias they had. On certain models and brands.

Its simple. If a manufacturer had Roger Dee, they produce a winner, but other manufacturers were close anyways.😏

Please lay down a track of the ambient studio sound behind the rest of the audio track. It will smooth out the sharp sound transition when you come in and out with your voice over.

On January 14, I order from your store a hoodie, Order number: 5d9a0f40e9923d12 According to the tracking history went into production on January 16, promised date for delivery was between Jan 24 and Jan 27, we are at February 15 and I had NOT received anything. Is this a scam?
