OK, I'm fully aware that the "four stroke revolution" has been going on for a while now, but the minis were totally ignored. Until now. Honda has thrown down the gauntlet. They have made a mini thumper for the 85 class, The CRF150R. (http://powersports.honda.com/preview/) Click that link, and click on the pic in the center of the screen. There is even a video that you can watch. I'll be honest, I knew that mini thumpers were coming, just not this soon. How long until the other four manufacturers catch up?

There is currently all kinds of controversy concerning the CRF150R and how it fits into current AMA MX classes. If you have a kid looking to race one, Id shy away from it until that issue is settled.

That is one of the sickest bikes I have seen. Was watchin the Jeremy McGrath Invitational today, then came the comercial. Liquid cooled and everything! Honda means business.
