A lot of old timers just refer to motocross bikes in general as race bikes. Most of the old motocross models would have something like “for closed course competition” stamped on vin/model plates, giving the impression that they were designed for racing

“Dirt bikes give me so much joy”! Same here Lundy. That was a good score. Having a cr250 in the stable is never a bad thing. Even when they are a complete nightmare like the one I just got done restoring. Look guests to seeing what you do to it.

I got my 2002 cr250r for $1200 back in 07 with a fresh top end. It ran strong but looked rough. I still got her and she has been totally been rebuilt except for the crank because it didn’t need it.

Wow! Congrats on that find...gotta love 80s bikes!!!

The Honda "CR" series has always been sold as a completion (race) machine. Enough said. 🏁 It is as it says. CONGRATULATIONS on your $600.00 purchase!👊🏼👍🏼

Competition Race is what CR stands for. They were 'out of the box' Race bike.

I also have an addiction to dirt bikes. I have 6 in garage right now. They do bring me joy. I love riding them and working on them. Great find on that bike!

There’s nothing like a older 2 stroke vibration ✊🏻

I love ur videos and n love the fact that you get the 2stroke vibe ! I recently was able to get my old RACE BIKE back a 1990 CR 125 restored it and refreshed it so yea look out +50 class. People see a CR or KX or whatever n the first thing that comes to mind is RACE BIKE ! Maybe cuz that’s what they were designed for with the bigger suspension travel idk. I’m like you when it comes to RACE BIKE I’m lookin for truck parts motor mods like you said. Keep up the cool ass vids man much love from Kentucky

Awesome score buddy! Glad to see your comments back on you! Keep up the good work 👍

You’re Amazing! You bring me back the felling to get a dirt bike again, I been dreaming and waiting for that since 2012, hopefully I’ll be back soon … you’re great

Would definitely love to see more videos like this ❤

It's obvious that's a race bike! Works triple trees, quick change race pipe, no seat cuz fast guys don't sit. I put solid sheet metal on my radiators. Rocks are not problem now. Sweet buy!!!

Packing a silencer has 2 affects. To quiet the bike and also the can is part of the bikes tune. Can packed with insulation is effectively double the volume as far as engine can tell. Bike will have a great mid punch minus packing. In most cases a full packed can will let the motor get full revs.

What an awesome find for this inflated time. Tyler Enticknap must be stoked. I agree with your definition of a race bike.

Ronnie Mac would take that off your hands and show you why it’s a race bike haha

What a score on a legit "RaceBike"!!! Love this so much "Dirtbikes bring joy". I feel your pain as my garage, shed and yard filled with orphan 2 wheelers that have followed me home. An ex even asked "are you done buying bikes?" 🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you so much for the inspiration and providing great content.

I could see a race bike being any bike raced but also see people saying race bike is crf250r where a trail bike is a crf250f for example

You are awesomeness in action! I lived in Reno long ago & raced at Carson City, Pyramid Lake, Fernly tracks on a CZ, of course.

Cool bike great job my friend love what you do

What an amazing deal man. This bike is exactly what I'm looking for

Excellent find!! When you find a deal like that you have to be ready to buy and some elbow grease!

Brings me joy when I find something not running then hone my skills to get it running again. Honestly it’s an addiction for me..

Thats a score man! Those are pretty much the same engines from 92-01 and that alone is worth 5 times what you paid

@LUND MX I was always taught to use pink insulation, thanks for the heads up on the multi purpose stuff. Something I find that work easier also is electrical tape.

Hey Lund you have some awesome videos I learn a lot from you

Amazing work if mine comes out half as good as yours I’ll be happy thank you for sharing

Awesome Content Clint!!!

Thank you for sharing your life of purchasing dirt bikes and used ones it’s awesome I am 20 years old when I was younger I had a pet boi 50cc I’m interested in buying my own dirt bike I really appreciate it for giving enough knowledge just off your videos, may I ask how can I start purchasing and rebuilding dirt bikes myself I’m from Philadelphia thank you so much and great content🙏🏽❤️

My friend had a 99 back in high school. That thing ripped. At the time i only had my YZ 125 and was asking him to rip around on it. You got a good deal considering today's prices in the used market

Major win. This build is going to be so sick!

definitely worth every penny I'd say it was a good score.👍🙂

What a great find! Excellent!

You just gave me my spark back. I buy 20+ bikes a year. And I have bought 3 this year.... I gotta get back at it!

Motor looks clean cases look good , wish we had luck like that in the uk

Love my 99 CR250. One of my fav bikes. It is a race bike too lol.

The first bike I raced was an 84 xr500 , box stock in mx. Raced a 650 yamaha twin in vintage mx and cc. I've been beaten by folks on much worse. Just my two cents.

That’s a steal , good find great job, that doesn’t happen in the uk 🇬🇧🍀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍🙏

Heck yeah it's a race bike. It was specifically built from the manufacture to ride or race.

You gotta number kit it for 710 since that was the total cost! Way to go man your the man God bless ya sir!

Love your intro to your channel 💯👌

Good fine brother good price too you never know what's out there until you dig deep

I think it was the fastest thing he had ever ridden, so to him it was a race bike. In my area that bike would be $1500. Toys are expensive in Arizona

Awesome score Clint.

Nice buy! That cdi and stator is worth way more than what you paid! 99's have a good low end grunt.

Cool bike, you should do a video about cleaning up alloy parts that are crusty with cleaners and polish or something. That would be useful to us crusty bike owners.

Clutch lever may be cheap but the brake lever is a $70 lever. I have a 97 cr250 and it's mint and I love it!

So lucky to get that bike for that price man. Wish I could find a 250 for that price. One time I did got a 06 yz250f for 700 needed shock repaired and valve shims.

Nice score, to any of us yes a race bike is something fully built but hey when I was a kid my yz80 to me and all of my buddies was a full blown race bike lol!

So I guess to be considered a race bike it’s a bit of both. So you have to race it but you want to have it modified aswell. All on perception. Giddy up Clint!

Bro the area you live in looks amazing!

Thats a cool place to ride, right down the street

My 2 cents is that 50,60,80,125,250, or 500cc two strokes were race bikes back in the day. Modern bikes are 50, 250f or 450f.

Great buy. I love my 2000 cr250r

i remember 25 years ago i could also ride the bikes right from the drive-way. unfortunatly things changed a lot and too many houses were built.

Sounds crazy but a polisport restyle kit for the 02-07 fits on these and pretty much bolts on i did it to my 99 125

Wish I had trails that close to home

Nice find can't complain for $700 running and pulling the front wheel.

I just picked up a 2004 cr125 for $600 off market place. Working on getting it started.

If the cylinder and cases are good I’d drop $600 on that Honda race engine right there quickly. Love these silver bullet motors. You scored as u usually do my friend!

nice Frontier :) i have the same one.

Hey all I’m saying is that’s cleaner than any 2020 dirt bike in Miami that gets street ridden 🤣

Absolute score mate.

A Race bike is any bike setup for the purpose of making you go faster on the track. For some it's suspension, for others it's engine work, different strokes for different folks. At the end of the day, a stick bike can race but I wouldn't call it a "Race" bike until it's purpose built for it's intended rider and racing style.

Got my 98 cr 250 for 600$ complete but blown got it running mint and love the thing I’d buy that in a heartbeat lol

Looks great ! hell of a fixer upper for $600

Back in '96 I went to look at a Suzuki GS1100 custom near Riverside , and was informed by the 'owner' that it was his 'race bike' , I made my excuses and left - quickly. The state of his teeth should have been a clue. Loved the re-enactment of your sellers conversation , I mean , it ain't for street riding , so it must be for racing - what else you gonna do with it ? I'm impressed the bike has survived the previous owners attempts at 'maintenance' ,"what chance has modern fuel injected four stroke got against that level of neglect ?

Jeez that’s an absolute score!

Sounds like a jetting or Reed valve issue.. also may wanna check the compression.. may need a new top end.. or all the above, either way, you just made a bunch of money.. it's a 2 stroke, an won't cost much to tune up... an she's obviously a keeper!

I picked up a 94 cr250 for $1750. here in New Zealand that’s a deal they go for about 5k on the low end. Love the videos keep up the great work man. It would be really cool to see a yz490 vs that IT that ur friend has. keep in mind if u get a 85 onward yz490 with the 5 speed do a 3 gear start as all they did was add a lower 1st gear. 2nd on a 85 onward is the same as 1st on a 82-84

My son on law gave me a 1998 lx 250 it just needed a stator and plastics and it's now fully restored with goodies and bling lol its like a brand new bike I put the Chevy truck graphics with 98 number its awesome I'm keeping it forever 😮

Nice Score 👍👍

A race bike to me is a bike that was built by the manufacturer to race such as a yz250f, or crf450r. Just the same way a ktm 300 xc is an Enduro bike because it is built to be raced or ridden in the woods

Sheshh buddy you have tons of bikes🔥🔥

it's a entry level race bike from the factory there was no spark arrestor so legally in many states you could only run these bikes on private property or a track which technically makes it an entry level race bike...

I have a 2001 honda cr125 I need help getting ready to ride it has all new top end and bottom end and can't get it to stay running

Great find 👍🏻

A race bike is a bike that is built to withstand racing conditions wether that be a stock bike from the factory or something with few or many mods.

My son just bought a 91 cr500 for 1000 and a 70 f5 longhorn in great original condition for 250 He will probably keep these and add them to his collection.

gas tank rubber mounts on the frame other thing you need zip ties for....older style 2 strokes anyway lol

Clint u must love Nevada lots of good riding

It needs a new plug, And maybe new reeds the power valves may need a look over as well

Well done cool video

LoL that initial FB Message exchange story is insanely annoying because that's 99% of my interactions on there 🤣

I had a 99 cr125 R , awesome bikes

Just bought a 99 CR250 out of a shed yesterday. What a coincidence lol

Race bike has the big pipe. Trail bikes is the other bike from that gentleman’s perspectives. Like a regular car is a Chrysler reliant K and a Race car is a IROC Z28 with the fire bird on the hood.

@LUND MX I currently own a 97 CR250R since 2014, I have rode 98, 99 and a 2003. 97-99 felt literally identical steering, suspension the frames and suspension are identical side by side so what is the difference from 97-99?

Forget $710 I’d be happy buying that as is $1200 right now lol

A bike that was made for racing. He’s not totally wrong, it is a race bike lol

IMO a race bike in relation to dirt bikes is any model intended for competition use and not a “trail” model.

Awesome deal!! 👍

Well done. What a score - I understand at the time you don't know what you are getting into. But nice that it turned out to be a runner. \

Garage the Best:D supermarket of motocross ^^

Super nice 👍🏼
