Fred rode an EC 250 at the Caney Creek National.

He mentioned that they built a few 144cc bikes based on the 125.
But,the exhaust port bridge would crack due to the bigger bore.

He had a full light kit on the MC125. Wouldn't that make it a DE125 now? What's the difference between the MC and DE bikes? I thought both had smaller flywheels with the MC not getting lights... but his had lights.

De is just an EC with a lighter flywheel and the dealers don't put on all the street stuff like blinkers and switch controls. I believe the MC's have stiffer suspension and different (Closer??) gear ratio's.

 

[GMP]

He started with the 200. He has ridden the 250 and the 125. When he was with Husky he would ride both the 125 and 250 as well. Usually the 250 in the rocks, and the 125 in the tight NJ pine barrens.

Oops. I knew he tended to ride 125s at the six days and assumed that was th e bike he was on...

Delaware winner

Fred rode the EC250 to the overall win in Delaware, the same bike that he rode to the overall win in Texas.

The bike jeffd shows in his pictures is a EC125, which Lacy rode in Texas.
If you look at the sideways photo, that is Lacy standing on the left, with her back to the camera, and Bob Agonis in the background.

As GMP has said, Fred rides either the 125 or the 250, depending on the terrain.

The ISDE 2006 website notes Fred is riding 250 E2 there also.
Here are the USA GasGas riders at the ISDE this year.
