Honda’s 2009 CRF450R was a great machine-after all, it did win the Dirt Rider 450cc Shootout-but some riders couldn’t come to terms with the bike’s handling. Fortunately, Big Red’s development team applied several smart changes to the 2010 that all but eliminate the 2009 handling demons. On top of the revision list is new fork [...]

87. That is the exact number of laps that Rockstar/Makita Suzuki rider Ryan Dungey led during the 2009 AMA Motocross series. During each of those blazing revolutions around the track, Dungey had to deal with the intense mental pressure of being the man in front with 39 hungry pros breathing down his neck.

Choosing a DR Long Haul test bike is always a fun process, but scoring the 250F shootout winner is a double whammy in my book. I was super excited to acquire the ’09 KX250F for the duration of the testing season, and was equally stoked when the bike carried its high-performance shootout momentum straight into [...]

Following a successful outing in our 2009 Torture Test, the KTM 250 XC unofficially joined our test fleet and became roped into some extra Long Haul duties around the shop. When the bike wasn’t being raced around enduro courses by Ziegler or torn through the dark by Lewis, it served as my unofficial practice bike [...]

As humans, our bodies were designed (or evolved, depending on how your parents spent their Sundays) in a deliberate, specific way. Think about it: Your body follows your head. Your head follows your eyes. Your eyes follow whatever you train them to, meaning that you mentally have control over what you look at. And in [...]

Of all the various forms your bike can take, a full-blown freestyle machine is quite possibly the simplest in terms of modifications, maintenance and execution. Your best bet is to begin with a light, powerful 250cc two-stroke (although thumpers are becoming more prominent in jumping circles) and then fine-tune the bike to your specific preferences. [...]
