  • Check out the amazing story of the Husky superfan who spotted a former GP race bike which was being used for wheelies on the streets of a rough housing estate in Birmingham. The bike was rescued, fully restored and then raced by ex-AMA SX and National champ Zach Osborne in the Foxhill VMXDN this year.
    We listen to the details of inside this 2002 ex-Carl Nunn machine, the extreme lengths its new owner went to make it perfect then MotoHead's Dave Willet gets an exclusive test on the bike at a grippy,old-school British track.

      Recently found 125 and 250 and it’s been the most fun building/riding them I’ve had in years, very under rated bike

    I have been collecting 02 cr250 for years. I have ridden and tested almost everything y can think of on these bikes. I am bigger 6’3 215 pounds and they fit me well. I a restoring another 02 I found with less than 20 hours on it. You were smart going back to the 2c pipe. The gnarly doesn’t work as well. Alot of gains in the head mods. The bike stock is down on power. Carb, ignition, pipe doma is awesome. Pv spring changes head mods , porting make great improvements on these bikes. They handle great after a lot of suspension work and are fun to ride! This is the first video I have seen on these bikes. Keep them coming

      Also we have some more stuff to test so there will be more videos
      Yeah the team found the 2C pipe and stock silencer worked best with the works cylinder and head in 2002 we just thought we would try a newer fmf pipe to see if it improved anything we also have slechten, messico and doma pipes we could try but the slechten was the prototype used to make the jig for the 2C pipes but maybe the other two we can try

      @@sonniemee-harris9855 I have a doma and a sletchen as well. Kinda same family I believe, you would probably know better than me! Lol. The Doma with stock silencer worked the best in my testing. Using thinner base gasket with squish around 50 works great along with other cylinder porting etc. I am working on lectron and smart carb 2 updates as well! Tmx can be made good with everything changed inside! Thanks looking forward to the updates! Thanks

      It’s the same for all manufacturers with 20 year old bikes the parts a rare but we still have plenty of spare parts for these huskies and are able to get quite a few still from our contacts we have had to have a few hits made like clutch baskets and bash plates because the works ones just aren’t around

They MOTTO is even "Wheels up, Guns down" so what there doing in a way it is a positive movement you should study this new culture before before showing ignorance sir.
