  • Racer X Films: 2000 Honda CR250 Project Build

While traveling during the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship, privateer Brent Rouse and brother Dane, stopped at a local Honda dealership in Fayetteville Arkansas. When they walked into the shop a young sales rep asked if there were any bikes they were interested in. Dane replied "Nothing in here." The kid asked what they were interested in. Dane went on to tell the kid “If you have any older two-strokes we would be interested.”

The young sales rep went on to tell them that he had a bike at home that would meet that description. The Rouse brothers asked what it was and how much do you want for it? The kid replied, “Its a 2000 CR250 and I would take $600 for it.” “Sold!" said the Rouse brothers. “We will be by your place after you get off work to get it.”

The bike had seen better days: the crank was locked up, the head was pretty beat up, plastics, bars, grips, tires, and all the bearings needed a one a ticket to the trash. After a lot of hard work, and with help from so many great sponsors the Rouse brothers turned what was once a blown up $600 bike that was sitting outside into this.
