I do love the 2 smokes, I've had supermotos in KX/CR and a four stroke 640 ccm, the CCM was ultimately the most powerful at around 65rwhp after a lot of tuning, the 2 smokes were around 60, pic here of when we went to race at Mettet in belgium in around 1997. Used to enter the odd road race at Mallory with and actually won a couple! Used to piss the "real" racers off! smile



My old CR125

Those pictures are so 1990s! I have a fair few same era and it makes me laugh when I look at how its changed. I then go back to the 70's and 80's scrambles/mx with my dad and he looks like something out of a terminator movie!

No, I had factory support with the CCM, so a motocross bike (no leccy starter or lights) Flowed heads by Gary Cotterill who was the go to Rotax man, 636 big bore kit, Road race cam, Big bored carb etc etc.
It was half quick, i raced that at Mallory in the Supertwins for a laugh, i was fighting for the win against a Ducati SP and a TL1000 finished third in the end, i got smoked on the straights but the tight stuff esses to Devils elbow i was all over em!
