| The
revolution continues: Introducing the Honda 2007 CRF150R and CRF150R-Expert
|
|
Anybody
with even a passing interest in motocross and Supercross racing recognizes
that a revolution has recently taken place. Within a few short years
four-stroke machines supplanted two-stroke bikes almost completely
throughout the ranks of professional racing, and Honda has played a major
role in this transformation. Since the debut of the CRF450R during the
2002 season, the buying public has purchased well over 100,000 motorcycles
spread between the CRF450R, CRF450X, CRF250R and CRF250X, which makes
Honda's four-stroke Unicam® engine format a runaway best-seller.
