What's up guys/ girls
Wanted to drop in and let the fine people at Vital know what I've got cooking right now with this CR250R.
I have wanted to do a build / giveaway forever & now it's going down! Very exciting & a ton of fun.
After seeing & participating in a Bay Chapter OTHG CRF450R raffle earlier this year, I decided to launch my own bike build & giveaway in the same fashion.
My buddy Justin actually ended up winning the CRF450R and I've never seen such a priceless look on someones face/ disbelief & I've never herd his wife scream so damn loud- before, or since!
Here's a little more info regarding the bike build...
The Bike:
-2002 CR250R, frame up resto. Highly customized & fully rebuilt. No stone un-turned.
I'm currently in the mid build stages and have about 1.5 months left or so before I select & announce a winner. I've also been doing a ton of fun giveaways via the @mXrevival Instagram page along the way.
Top end kits, handmade seats, graphics kits, plastic kits, custom Cerakote, mXrevival hats, now goggles are upcoming from Flowvision in the coming weeks & a full engine rebuild kit is on deck too.
Just fun, all free, no catch... Did I mention I am psychotic about motorcycles? No? Oh, well.... there it is
The Sponsors that have joined & have already been announced publicly are:
-Boyesen (Rad Valve, covers, exh flange)
-Bolt Motorcycle Hardware (pro pack, body fasteners, axle adjusters, etc)
-SM Pro Platinum (Trick & light wheel set)
-Lectron Fuel Systems (38HV Carb)
-ZR Throttle (cnc throttle w/ bearings)
-Apex Coatings (cerakote on brake systems, engine parts, powder coating, fork lugs, shock body, etc)
-Ride JBI (full rebuild & re-valve of fork and shock for MX)
-Haeseker Racing Engines (full rebuild of engine, vapor honed, transmission micro-polished)
-Langston Motorsports (OEM gaskets , bearings and seals for engine)
-VHM (racing cylinder head w/ interchangeable insert)
-DP Motorsports (triple clamps, only 10 sets EVER made for CR250! Incorporates HPSD capability & new number plate mounting as well)
-ICW Radiator (fixed OEM's)
Not yet showcased/ upcoming product announcements are:
-Mika
-No Toil
-Fresh Moto (formery Rub-It Decals, remember him?)
-All balls
-Pivot Works
More to come!!!
You're all welcome to check out the first round of mentions by way of photos, on Instagram. All the build photos are there, in nice high res photos. Before & afters, etc...
I'd also love to hear your thoughts, and would be happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Years ago, I remember watching this kid push his old KX125 to the track (408MX RIP) from some busted houses nearby. He'd ride until his bike broke then push it back home.
Always though "man I want to hook him up, that's impressive" so I guess, this build is a bit of finally getting to do it for someone.
Thanks for the kind words.
I can't commend you & the sponsors enough on this very, very awesome project. Hopefully someone who is in need of a bike wins it.
It's a shame that 408MX is closed as it was about 10-15 minutes from my house.
Have 4 of these 3rd gen AF CR250's with some extra parts that I can donate to a good cause like this. Send me a PM if you need parts. I might have it as a spare.
I appreciate that greatly. Hoping the same thing! Thanks for the kind words. It's been such a good time doing this and building up relations with some of the guys I really admire in the industry.
Man I miss 408 so much.... Club & Diablo have been great for the most part at least. Do you ever get out to those tracks now?
Let me know if you do.. In fact, we will be at Diablo this Saturday.
That's too funny. Right? Considering how badly he wants a Honda 2 stroke...
WHERE YOU AT GIN GIN?
I noticed he doesn't even have a bike in one of the latest Vital photos.... Looks to be in the riding position though
I can be reached via contact link any time on the mXrevival website.
They are on backorder once in a while but still in production.
Have an excellent weekend & ride safe!
"I have wanted to do a build / giveaway forever & now it's going down! Very exciting & a ton of fun."
"Just fun, all free, no catch... "
So is it a giveaway/free or not?
Read more slowly. It will give you a fighting chance at being right.
I created this post to share something fun & special with guys who ride & love bikes on a similar level.
They take a lot of time, planning, energy, funding, and in some cases the perfect circumstance to pull off.
If you cannot take the time to review the contest verbage, on your own and come at me with just a little more tact, then please know you've not earned enough of my respect to warrant the answers you seek to forcefully pry from me.
It's unfortunate that there are some guys so jaded that I cannot share this with them the way it was intended to be shared.
The answers are literally right in your hands.
To everyone else with positive feedback & those excited about this gig... This is for you. Means a ton to me.
Be safe on your motos this weekend guys!

To be fair... I copy/pasted this from your first post-
“I'd also love to hear your thoughts, and would be happy to answer any questions that you may have”.
I realize that MxRacerCam didn’t just ask a question, but you could have just answered the question, without all the extra verbiage. It was a little confusing if you don’t follow social media and just read your post. Just sayin’...
Congrats on what you’re doing, sounds like a lot of work on your part.

Not sure how difficult it was to just share that as the answer instead of being a jerk about it.
I get frustrated when people try to forcefully pry what they want to hear out of others for momentary satisfaction. I'll stand my ground on that. But, overkill on my end yes.
Thanks for leveling me out. My stubborn side got the best of me.
As for the work, I love it to death so it never feels like work.
I hope from here on out it can be enjoyed by others too.
Thanks for the reply!
$100 ticket/donation OR Free.
Thanks for going the extra mile also posting it here.
Good luck with your contest!
Too cool. Thank you!
