TWO-STROKE PROJECT: WHITE LIGHTNING

4 days ago | dirtbikemagazine.com | Ron Lawson

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.
TWO-STROKE REBUILD GUIDELINES: MR KNOW-IT-ALL

5 days ago | dirtbikemagazine.com | Ron Lawson

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. It’s your bike whispering (or maybe yelling) that it’s time to freshen things up.

RIDING A HIGH-DOLLAR GASGAS DUAL-SPORT: THE WRAP

1 week ago | dirtbikemagazine.com | Ron Lawson

Every so often a beautiful bike will just fall into our lap. This is a 2025 GasGas ES500 dual-sport bike that was just built by the guys at the factory with virtually every accessory in the Hard Parts catalog. The thinking is that GasGas has a number of sales incentives right now, and if you want to roll that money back into the bike, you can build something pretty special. The standard GasGas MSRP is a little scary at $12,499 plus fees.

The 2025 Pro Motocross Championship arrived at legendary High Point Raceway this weekend as well as a thunderstorm that caused the final moto to end prematurely. The pecking order had already established itself by that point and Team Honda HRC Progressive’s Jett Lawrence prevailed with his fourth straight win to open the season. In the 250 Class, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Haiden Deegan reasserted his dominance over the division with his third 1-1 performance of the season.
RIDING THE 2026 RIEJU FUEL-INJECTED 2-STROKE: THE WRAP

1 week ago | dirtbikemagazine.com | Ron Lawson

Last week I got to ride the very first Rieju MR Pro 300i in the U.S. Geoff Aaron hauled it from Central Powersports Distributing in Texas to California for a quick test on our local trails. Going forward, it will be small companies like this that give us true innovation on the two-stroke front. How do you pronounce it? Geoff says that even in Spain, they pronounce it differently in different regions. He says Re-Yay-Who, which is good enough for us.
