Nice. The guy in the other thread who said that it looked like a bunch of mismatched parts thrown together is insane.

Nice! Looks like it might be time to change your Vital signature...
It is lol. I've always been partial to red, but like many, I waited for this positive change. Already have a few after market parts that will go on and have decals otw.

Pure sex. Enjoy. Ride report required. Hoping the 2018 250f follows the same suit.

Cool. Congrats.

The CRF on the shroud is actually level when it's in the crate.

Thanks everyone. I'm excited. A kid who works at the dealership told me he still rides an 2008. Hopefully it will be very close to the '08, but I'm hoping some things may be even better. I'll reply back in the spring when I have much more time to ride.

I owned an '08 for a few years. Great handling bikes. Those cornered like champs, but it had lots of pop right off the bottom lol. No problem lifting the front wheel in any gear with that beast! Those were good things by-the-way. Smile

Very nice Joe. Look forward to your ride report. I still ride an 06'. If all goes well I'll have an 18' next fall.

So, what is the physics of a dual pipe on a single? Are there 2 separate exhaust ports? A 3 valve head? Sorry, a bit behind.....

I hope you do and maybe if there needs to be tweaks, you may get a better bike.

At least, in the crate, the CRF logo looks like it's pointing in the right direction...

Damn! That looks good. Nothing like the clean OEM look of a new bike. Honda has done well with this one.

Yikes. I bet the guy that said it looks like hondas spare parts shelf threw up would agree with the 2016 version.

It's the shroud graphics that make it look weird
