Honda's new 250F


Found over at the Honda motorcycle website, it seems that Big Red is touting the new "revolutionary twin-muffler exhaust system" with having the beneficial effect that it "centralizes mass and improves handling in the whoops and rhythm sections."

Beg pardon? Hanging another aluminum can under the rear fender improves handling in the whoops? Well, shut my mouth!

I guess the 2006 CRF450 is simply a pig in the whoops then, with it's old-fashioned single muffler system. Guess I'll wait until '07 for mine... maybe then it'll have electric start, too (like it should)!
