Gave into Temptation, and got a CRF250X still got the CRM and I don`t think I will be selling it in the near future, nice to have two bikes in case one breaks!! still got one to go out on!

Lookin forward to the first ride.

I am vertically challenged or as Hew would put it a "short arse" but I won a shortened shock off eVILBAY so I have fitted that and its about the same height as the CRM winner!

I will post results once I have actually ridden it!!

Went out today, first ride on the CRF, bike faultless ran really well, very noisy and lots of need to get used to mechanical noises!, but a very strong engine top suspension, but!!!! not sure if I am just too use to the CRM couch mode! but it seemed at first over the top for what I was doing, the CRM can do it so why ride this thing, but as the day went on I started to get use to the CRF and I really started to enjoy it, lecy start bonus, and pickup weight so much nicer, snatchy low end more me than the bike, throttle control needed adjusting!! loud bike could do with it being quieter but for now I am keeping both, I need a couple more rides on the CRF to make an informed decision!! I will keep you posted!! CRM and a CRF can`t be bad!!
