    $8000 for an ATV frame? Does it make sense? Plus, some of the nicest 250R's ever!
    This was my first visit to DBC Racing in Grand Rapids Michigan. Blake and I talk about the various aftermarket frames that are and were available for the Honda TRX250R and why it makes sense to buy one. Make sure to check out dbcracing.com and give them a follow on instagram @dbc_racing!

    Wow, I must be vintage... 50 years old now & was privileged to be in the day to purchase my 1st new ATV was a white 1989 250R off show room floor, think it was like $3,900, then started racing them locally in California. Met Doug Roll & Eichner several times & had talked with Tim Farr & Mr. Baldwin. Hung out with Gary Denton a few times. Raced with Ed Texerra in Marysville a few. My bike ended up with LSR frame, DRD&D A-arms & swing arm & AXIS shocks oh yeah did a 350 cylinder also.... why am I writing all this? I don't know.... Thanks for bringing back some great memories... Oh yeah, even was able to get an 2008 KTM 525XC brand new put wider ars on that also... now that's a Ferrari of a Quad Geez... very fast, very fast. OMG fast... Later Gents.

      @@anthonybaker7918 is a ESR cylinder and thats about it. Arlan resleaved, ported and changed quite a bit of port timing. Oem cases, oem crank. Yukon gears. Hinson basket, direct Drive lock out. It made right around 63 hp and was a rocket in my stock framed build.

      Always nice videos man. I am not a 4wheeler guy but still like learning about your builds and the approach you take. Making videos and putting info out there is not an easy thing as I am finding out with a dirt bike project I am doing. It's one thing to do the work and completely another to document it in a professional manner, explain, mentor and keep the project moving forward. .Keep up the good work and good luck with your build. Happy New Year my friend !

    Man this video takes me back. I had a full Lonestar 250R build that I raced motocross with from 2001-2004ish. I miss that bike so much. As much as I loved my Lonestar I used to stare at those Roll Design Lobo chassis in the Duncan Racing catalog and dream about owning one. And I remember racing with Kory Ellis at one of the first races he rode his YZ426 / 250R hybrid. That was the beginning of the dirt bike motor / 250R hybrids. I got hurt in 2004 and sold my quad shortly after. I honestly haven't followed it much since, so its pretty wild to see it all coming full circle back to the 250R again. Now I want to build another one.

    @herbphene3357 4 года назад +1

    Those Roll mx chassis are like unicorns to the 250r community. This guy has two.. You would be lucky to even spend that 7500 they are so rare to find.
    Also if you have welding and fab skills. You can convert your stock frame and any swingarm to no link. That’s what I did.

    It is important to point out that the Laeger chromoly frame with T Pin front end coupled with PEP zero preload suspension set up was at the fore front and dominated GNC mx and GNCC xc racing for years. Multi time GNC and GNCC champs Jeremiah Jones Bill Balance Tim Farr all ran laeger/PEP

      @Eric im getting old but i am thinking he won a bunch on a laeger honda 250 with PEP suspension and LRD motor before the yamaha factory ride on the 4 stroke. I think both ballance and yokely did some woods testing and racing with kawasaki on the roll design chassis kx250 engine mojave plastic clad quad that. I seem to remember ballance riding a wheelie on the kawasaki in heuvos ??

I guess if you are racing, but I ride a lot of mtb and have broken some alu frames. I would be afraid of alu quad frame. It must be way thicker than mtb tubing.

    wouldn't bother gusseting a stock frame , once the metal gets fatigued their done. I had a lone star and that thing never failed. As far as two strokes being banned it didnt happen that way. The four stroke took over cause better torque and the rules let people use the new 400 yz motor. But priced people out of racing from high costs. they changed again in 2004 when the new 450s came out, and outlawed the hybrids.
