In 50 years of existence, Dirt Bike Magazine has never started off a build the same way as the MX Revival T-1000 Honda CR250R.

America is big. We have so much racing, such diverse terrain and so many riders that it’s almost impossible to compare them all. How can you come up with criteria to rank desert racers, woods specialists and sprint racers? We’ll make it easy. It’s about courage. That’s a common denominator in all off-road racers, but […]
The SCORE Baja 1000 and Honda go together like peanut butter and jelly! Can you really have one without the other?

The suspension […]

Last month, the city of Portoferraio on the Italian island of Elba hosted over 400 riders in the inaugural FIM Enduro Vintage Trophy.
