They use a '80 model CR250 frame and a CR480 motor. Nice but not legal here for the Evo class.

This brings up an interesting topic for discussion.  I notice several bikes down-under that sport the '81 Pro-Link swingarm modified for twin shock '78-'80 CR250's.  Is that legal for Evo class?

At the moment it's ok to use an '81 swingarm but the rule book nazis are not happy about it. I guess we'll see what happens in the future.. It doesn't bother me either way, as long as it looks within the era.

This is a very grey area up here too.  '81 41mm forks are OK on '78-'80 CR250's, but the modified '81 swingarm is not allowed, yet the '81 450 motor in this '80 CR250 frame made it through tech.
