Honda NRS250 Teaser

Sounds pretty good...

That little booger'll make a mighty fine pit bike...

 

I'll toss in a old CR500 motor for some real fun!!

 

if by "sounds pretty good" you mean like total dog poo, then yeah, i guess it does...

 

Slug.

 

Meh, should have been a 400 inline four, 18-20K rpm, 85/90Hp, and under 300 lbs.

 

I'd stand in line for that bike. :up:

 

Just cram a 450mxer in it. The current 125's are 55+hp, the 250 thumper wont even come close in hp.

 

Why not just race a 450 super single? If its the chasis just get a 125 or 250 gp chasis n stuff the 450 in it?

 

Is Honda trying for a Spec motor in this class too? How long before they try to dominate all of GP racing?


I'm starting to think what Anscari Nadal is saying here isn't so far fetched.

Wrong.

 

^^ agreed

you either get it or you don't...

 

What am I wrong about? Care to elaborate? Other than putting a different gear box in the 450's they would be great.

 

wow... i totally mis-read what turner quoted...

gee is my face red...

 

It sounds like a cavitating Evinrude outboard engine.

 

the 450s would still be a hack lump holding back what should be a proper racing bike...

 

My understanding is the 450 singles really aren't designed to sustain high RPM's for a long period.

 

Geoff @ GP Tech has ran one for the last 2 or three seasons without any problems as well as several other people. Things are solid.

 

Saying the 250 four strokes won't come close in HP is wrong.

It appears this bike is meant to replace the HRC RS125, Unless Honda total effed up it should have considerably more power over a wider range than the bike it replaces.

Whoever decided that Four strokes should automaticly get a 100% advantage in displacement should have been executed at birth in my opinion.

 

That’s wrong? Do you have any data to support that or are you simply guessing? Honda CRF250R makes roughly 33hp stock and that’s a well designed motor. Built to the moon they can see low 40's. I'm sure a change in the architecture might net a few more. They might be able to get them to 45-48 max. But hey, maybe you know something different, if so please share. And as far as the double displacement thing, that was started in MX simply because they were not as highly developed as the 2 strokes were and as they came into their own they eclipsed them. The main advantage in MX is their readability due to torque, not necessarily a HP issue.
