AJ:
On the MAY MXA cover:
Greatest 2 stroke ever!
Inside, they gave it a very nice review!!
:-)
DoldGuy:
Have not seen a May issue at the store yet. Will stop by Barnes & Noble this evening to see if they have it. Breifly read the 2 stroke vs 4 stroke article in Transworld this month. Jason Lawrence was 2 seconds (average) a lap faster on the 2 stroke than the 4 stroke and 4 seconds a lap faster on his fastest time, all on a very short course. :-D Good read also on the parts cost of maintaining the bikes.
Oh Yeah AJ
Congrats on the Article and Cover!! :-o
AJ:
well th ebikes not on the cover ,, just the headline :)
but thanks!
Good:
I read it in Wal-Mart yesterday. Very nice writeup. They state that the KX pretty much owns the CR :-D but we new that right? 8-)
Anyway, unfortunately, they went on to say the 4 srtoke trumps the 500 though, but I found it unclear as to why...
They did change some things on the bike to adjust suspension and geometry to make it handle better, but said it was normal stemming from the stock KXF250s parts. Gonna add these aftermarket parts in the future AJ? :evil:
All in all it was great publicity for AJ and the mighty K5, and other than that silly 4 poke comment, it was a good article.
Mick:
It was a good honest ride report. They favored the thumper because it's easier to ride...means faster around a track. The bike clearly needs some suspension work, but that's all a very small price to pay for the total package.
Be sure to tell MXA how much you enjoyed the article!
