Zaca Station MX Park looks quite desolate from Google's Earth satellite photos (Digital Globe). With the basic Google Earth service, I can see three tracks - the large one, a shorter one southwest and a small mini-bike track, less than twenty vehicles and Todd Sciacqua going so fast, it's just a long blur. I've been told that the CIA's satellite shows Todd with an ear-to-ear smile riding this bike!Honda produces perhaps the best 250cc 4-stroke motocross bike on the planet. The CRF250R has been dominating the annual MotoUSA 250F Motocross Shootouts since 2006 with another victory this year completing the three-peat. Finding chinks in the CRF’s red-plated armor is a chore, so we worked with one of the top builders in the industry to find them for us. Our test bike was set up by Jay Clark Enterprises built by the man himself, Jay Clark. The other was a stock CRF250R which allowed for a solid comparison.
The motor ran absolutely perfect and was a highlight for our testers, as was the MB1 suspension which surprised us with its versatility.The only consistent flaws we’ve found in the rock-solid CRF are minor issues with the carburetion and suspension, and these were two of the primary targets for respected bike builder, Clark, but he didn’t stop there. He’s a totally stand-up guy, but with his particular industry ties there’s plenty of influence for extra motor displacement, so he built us a cheater bike. By the time he finished with our little Honda, the cylinder was overbored 1mm and re-plated to 79mm by Millennium Tech, Parapros Racing custom ported the head, CP Pistons threw in a high-compression 14:1 piston and Hot Cams slipped in their performance camshaft. The extra size bumps the mill to 256cc, and feeding the entire thing is a full-modified race carb from Tokyo Mods while an FMF MegaBomb and Factory 4.1 single muffler handle exhaust on the opposite end.

The biggest improvements are from the carb. That motor runs absolutely perfect. There’s no hesitation anywhere through the powerband and it reacts instantly when you twist the throttle

Back up camera in the 09's are great and the built in bluetooth is great add on's for the new model. Pano roof is beautiful, baby loves to see up into the sky. Keyless go is very important if you have babies, mine didn't come with one because they didn't have any available at the time. If you can order it, get it. All in all, great family crossover/SUV, great for those of us not wanting to be caught dead in a Sienna or Odysse, and great for those who like to drive.The 2009 R-Class is a 4-door, up to 7-passenger luxury sport-utility, available in two trims, the R350 4MATIC and the R320 BlueTEC.
