This was quite an improvement over my 1985 CR250, which being 15 years newer would make sense. A more recent reference for me would be that it was like my 89 YZ250, but without its shortcomings. Best of all in my mind, it felt like a Honda. The stock engine with the aftermarket exhaust was all the motor I needed. You could get away with short-shifting it, to some degree, or revving it out.
