Did the Best Just Get Better?<\/p>\nDid the Best Just Get Better?<\/p>\n
There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no two ways around it. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a road racer. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve always dreamed of being an uber-fast motocross rider, throwing flat whips and having great style and speed (if I could only ride a dirt bike like I can a street bike)\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 But it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just not in the cards. At least not with as little as I ride off-road these days. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been a good seven or eight months since I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve purposely taken flight on anything with two wheels, thus when I realized I had to fill in for our normal moto guys at the 2010 Honda CRF250R press intro, let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s say I was a tad gun shy. That was until I actually rode the bike: Flat-out couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have picked a better machine to make my sudo-MX comeback on. But while it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all good that my slow self\u00c2\u00a0got back to riding and liked the Honda, we brought our hired gun, former professional-level SX rider Matty Armstrong to really put it through the paces and breakdown how the CRF250 performs in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing. And while I typically don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t give this away up front, what the heck\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 The verdict: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Best 250F I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve ever ridden!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d were some of the first words out of his mouth after only a few laps on the new Honda. And it just kept getting better\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Details & Pictures<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Did the Best Just Get Better?
