The mid-’90s steel-framed Honda CR250s are probably some of the most popular machines to restore for a few reasons: there are lots of them out there, aftermarket parts are found fairly easily, and Jeremy McGrath just made them cool. With this 1994 CR250 build we wanted to do something a little different, so we steered clear of going down the McGrath-replica road and came up with this “White Lightning” project.

WHERE’S THE POWER? WHEN TO REBUILD YOUR TWO-STROKE TOP ENDDear Mr. Know-It-All,I’ve got a 2023 KTM 300XC TBI, and lately it’s feeling a little tired. I ride pretty hard, and I’m wondering when I should do a top-end rebuild? How do I keep that crisp power I felt when it was new? First off, good on you for noticing that slight dip in performance.

The standard GasGas MSRP is a little scary at $12,499 plus fees.

Gone for over three years now. I shot this the day I met him in 2001. Wonderful guy. @ Corona, California https://t.co/dzntGqmi9m
If you put "Zilla" on anything it gains 20 horsepower. True fact. The TMZilla is a CR500 motor in a TM frame, and it's wicked! #dirtbikemagazine #profotousa #nikonprofessionalservices @ Glen Helen Raceway https://t.co/DhSNMpm7qj
