Revisions for 2022-

Engine: the engine has been completely revised, with an all-new larger bore cylinder, a new piston and a new power valve Crankshaft: new shorter stroke; Cylinder head: the head is also completely new, and has been redesigned to complement the other new components to perfection.

WOLF: BACK IN THE DAY

The 1987 Honda CR250R rates as one of my favorite machines ever. It was a superb motocrosser, yet with very little work made for a superb off-road machine. This is a District 37 Enduro with the big mods being a really wicked Acerbis front fender with an extension, Acerbis hand guards, headlight and a larger tank. Paul Thede from Race Tech modified the suspension, which was at the pinnacle of excellence, tweaking it to work better in desert enduros.
