TWO-STROKE TUESDAY: CLOSE-UP OF JEFF EMIG’S 1997 SR250

Motocrossers love memorabilia. Few hoard more than gear manufacturers. Fox has had a long relationship with Jeff Emig through their Shift brand. Among the bikes in their museum/offices is one of Jeff Emig’s 1997 SR250’s. 1997 would be the last year Emig would win a championship.
