Title: So I picked up a dirtbike over the weekend.

01 CR250R

I love the sound of two strokes, very happy with this purchase. I've ridden a friends old XL250 (four stroke) on trails for a long time, this thing is absolutely nuts comparitivly. It feels 10x faster. Scary thing is, I can wheelie it in 5th without having to pull up, it just comes up by itself. No need to describe how first is haha. I did some pretty large jumps over the weekend, I hope to attach some pics tomorrow  :)

Does it have a muffler?  

That is sweet!  I bet it is scary as hell.  Take the motor out of it and put it in a GS 500 frame.  I would.  I'd do it.

I wouldn't exactly call it a muffler haha. It's a tiny expansion of the straight pipe with a wee bit of packing haha.

Just took a pic:

My XR is docile compared to a 2-stroke...probably a good thing.

Enjoy!  :cheers:

That looks like the type of machine you'd use to crush your balls.

Looks pretty fun, especially with the piece of land you have there.

Talking about nut crushing, I used a friends suzuki 100CC four stroke one time  to go trail riding. Small little thing. It has a gas tank that sits up like old dirtbikes do. I was plowing through a big mudslick when I hit a fallen tree that was submerged in it, my friends bigger 250 went right over it, but the small tires of this thing didn't help any. Moral of the story, crotch into gas tank action.

Thank god for bigger dirtbikes haha.
