Can the Honda stay on top of the ultra-competitive
--F
king be crowned?
to its little orange peeler.
Right away, it became
evident that there was a lot
riding on this shootout, and
thus, faced with the task of
picking the "right" winner,
what did we do?
We took our time,
that's what.
After two full days of outdoor testing at one of our
favorite tracks in the country, the suspension-pounding, horsepower-robbing,
European-style Honey Lake
MX
Park
in
Milford,
California, and another full
day on the tight and twisty
Supercross-style circuit at
Starwest Motocross Park in
Perris, California, and after
even more time spent analyzing the data from dyno
sheets and pouring over the
various weights and dimensions of each machine, we
feel confident in our pick as
the winner of the 2006 Cycle
News 250cc four-stroke
motocross shootout. As for
the podium contenders,
well, we're not quite as
certain.
Check out our report and
then decide for yourself. It
won't be that easy.
