hi all has any1 ever put or heard of a crm motor in a road bike cos i love 2 stroke road bikes. but when looking they always sell for good money. but a rolling chassis of say a rd, nsr, ar, rgv & so on 125 or 250 ?would be cheaper & great fun. light, quick, nimble & very chuckable. ive seen rangtangtang's bike & think it looks mint
just a thought ????? :-))

cant imagine there will be a straightforward swap over but at the end of it you will have a 1 off , there are plenty of not quite standard crms been done along the same lines and they all look different and have been done in a slightly different way , prime example are Knacks 2 , literally the same but different

personally I think the CRM is a stonking around town..

if I wasnt gonna take it off road I think a good set of road tires..

firm up the suspension ( oil and springs? ) ( at the front for sure - so it dont dive like a footballer )

upgrade the front brake rotor..

the cafe racer is nice - but I met the guy and saw it in person and its been sat in his garage for years....

I like how the CRM as it is get you high,,,,,, the rest is just stuff to look at...

If you wanted to put the CRM on the road you should keep it in the stock frame.

Theres not much point removing a 55-60hp 250cc twin cylinder 250 to install a 30hp CRM motor.

the crm is good at all road duties accept for long freeway trips, I never liked it on the freeway/motorway, it didnt like it at all either.

I've got a Cagiva mito (125) with a cradle to carry either a yzf 450 or CR250 motor....

Do, or did Honda offer any advice as to the likely commuting limitations on a 250 cc T2 engine?

We know their not as highly tuned of the production line as it's possible to achieve with some minor mods.
I'm thinking that over half a lifetime ago I used to abuse Suzuki GT 250's and 500's without them grenading.
