What’s New?? The 2025 YZ450F Improvements | Bike Intro

Can an already near perfect bike be made any better? Yamaha certainly seems to think so! We went out to Glen Helen for a rip on the 2025 YZ450F. Improving on the already strong base they had built last year, Yamaha made a few fine-tuning improvements on their flagship dirt bike. Here are our thoughts.

Sight Lap | Unadilla

WE ARE SO BACK! The 2024 Pro Motocross Championship returns to Unadilla, and after a two week break, the racers are back, refreshed and ready to race. Among them are the additions of Ken Roczen and Cooper Webb! Where will these two fan favorites stack up this weekend? Brent Bowser and Jeff Beaver give their thoughts on this episode of Sight Lap!

We FOUND Steve Lamson’s FACTORY 2002 Husqvarna 250! | Bike Test

We were able to get our hands on this bike through our friend Robby McQuery, so special thanks to him. Ping and Steve Lamson get to ride Lammy’s ’02 Fast By Ferracci Factory Husqvaerna 250 at Glen Helen and give their thoughts on the bike 22 years later!

Riders Meeting | Washougal ft David Pingree

Ping is back! The boys Brent Bowser and Jeff Beaver recap Washougal. Ping’s been pretty busy but was able to make time to hop back on and chat about what we saw!

Welcome Back

Welcome back to Electronic Ping, a column I’ve been writing in some form or another since 1998. I know there aren’t a lot of written columns anymore; seems like people don’t have the patience for it and if it isn’t a 12-second [or less] video, people lose interest faster than Gary Busey at a congeniality convention. Well, for those old souls who still like to read something… welcome! And if you’ve gotten to this point and you can’t stay focused, thanks for stopping by, and don’t forget to get your Ritalin scrip refilled soon!

We Built A Proper Weekend Warrior Bike – 2005 Honda 450 | Bike Build

Our guy, Jeff Beaver bought and built this sick 2005 Honda CRF450R. (Fitting since we just posted our review of the 2025, go watch it.) The idea was to make what most would see as the ultimate weekend warrior’s bike, a do-it-all machine. We think this bike came out sweet and we hope you guys do too!

First Ride On Honda’s ALL NEW 2025 Honda CRF450!

Honda invited us out to IronMan Raceway to check out the launch of their ALL NEW Honda CRF450R! Boasting a host of new changes (70 percent) this bike is a significant improvement on the last generation, fixing a lot of what people were complaining about. Big thanks to Honda for their hospitality and for making this an enjoyable experience! Rider: Hunter Schlosser – @schlossman173
