Then I saw this motox build and I was stoked because I have been racing my entire life and qualified for a number of ama outdoor races and supercross events... That being said I think the bike you are building is turning out pretty nice but in the most respectful way possible is not nearly as special as your trying to hype it up to be... Since going thru a couple life threatening injuries and being lucky enough to get a very good job that i cant risk losing I have retired from my dream of making it as a underpaid struggling motocrosser... I am a huge two stroke fanatic, grew up racing yz80s, 125s, 250s and currently building a bad *** yz250. I dont know what happened between you and Derrick Harris but I will tell you that guy is by far the best most knowledgable engine builder there is period!!! He has built me and many other people the most insane engines around! He currently has by far the fastest most reliable yz144 package there is! Back in the day when Chad Reed was racing factory yz250s team yamaha was looking at what Derrick was doing because he was building faster engines then factory yamaha could! So I think you are way off base on that aspect... Sure Tom Morgan is one of the top porting guys but couldnt hold a candle to the custom billet cylinder, custom gear ratio billet transmission, custom single ring piston 60+ hp Non big bore engines Derrick builds!!! He has taught be so much its ridiculous! You want the fastest 250 two stroke built go to him! I dont know if you have seen the bike builds on vital but those are real as close to factory builds as they get! I mean your bike still has a regular 2ring wiseco, not even Akit suspension, regular triple clamps, no frame mods, no rmz subframe? I am currently building a yz250 kind of like yours rm. i did anodized black frame (powdercoat add pounds of weight!) custom build lightweight subframe, all titanium aluminum bolts on everything, yzf swingarm lighter more flex with holeshot linkage, custom lowered radiators and lightweight seat foam to lower cog, Akit 50mm showa suspension custom triples honda hspd damper,custom wheelset with tubeless tires, custom lightwheet plastics and graphics, custom billet calipers with motostuff rotors, the frame and engine mounts machined to tune more flex intoit to feel more like a steel frame yz and last but not least Derrick built engine just like chad reeds factory 2004 yz250 with chokeless magnesium carb! Your build is cool dont get me wrong but its nothing that special...
