My 86 250R ice racer has evolved again! This time it's a monster!

Awesome Build Chris. Your builds have been an inspiration to me since I started 250R ice racing.

Bryan, you better not make the track too small, we want to stretch these things out.

Love how u kept this a secret. Even posting about my 370 and how you are just going to run the 250.

At the rate things were going, I didn't think it would be done this year. I rode it around my yard today and it sounded good so far. I hope to get ice this winter so I can enjoy it some. So far things look sporadic. I guess it will depend on how long this next cold wave lasts.

Awesome Build Chris. Your builds have been an inspiration to me since I started 250R ice racing.

Thanks Anthony. I'm looking forward to some good times ahead. Hopefully we can get out soon.

That is an insane build for sure. Can wait to see some video of it and maybe get to see it at Icefest if there is ice. Great job!

I second riverrat, your videos and blogs have pushed me in the short track direction. Watching you hang it all out in those sweeping corners couldn't motivate me anymore. Hope the weather gets super cold for you guys up that way.

Helluva build brother!!

I would like to upgrade to a CPI big bore someday.

Looking forward to some vids of that Puma tearin' it up on the ice!

[Kintore]

DUDE! that is WICKED!

That will be one hell of a monster! Well friggin done!

Cant wait to see you again at ICEFEST, pray for ice boys and girls!

Looking FAST!!!!!!!

[ChrisD]

Thanks again guys!. Josh, we will continue to make #19 proud. Hope to have ICEFEST and see you there too. We should do a 450R / 430R shootout for all the 4 stroke / 2 stroke guys and gals.

I thought it would be slow to spool up with the big piston and big carb, but this is just tapping the throttle... I guess the guys are right in saying it spools up like a twin.



Jays......One question.Did the pipe mount not line up?Only reason I ask was looking at his pipes.Or was it made for a stock R?

The pipe is set up for a stinger and has 3 mounts because I also have a stinger for it so I can 86 the silencer. I have one mount attached and combined with the springs it is a rock. My challenge on this pipe is the cooling hose from the head. It is touching the pipe. I had the same problem with my old motor and the PT Hi Rev. I used heat tape to protect the hose. I also bought an LED Big Bore Pipe and will test both pipes on my freind's dyno. It will have to be this way until after ice racing season though. I will maximize the power in the spring.

This is a great project you completed!! I think the biggest reason I like this bike the most.Its going to be used and not sit in the garage.Your gonna tear it up!! Great Job!!

[ChrisD]

I hope to get some video this weekend. We should have ice somewhere nearby. The southern end of our lake may be ready if it stays this cold.

[mike from long island]

Its below freezing here on Long Island.You guys are always colder for longer too!! I bet there will be soe nice ice..

[JasonB]

amazing build! Very nice! Love everything about it, I am looking at puma's for my next build lol. Really top notch work all the way around on your machine, and I like the airbox you made too. Just awesome all around! Also watch your leg on that pipe while your sliding around on the ice, these suckers are big lol i have scars on my right leg from my inframe nos350x pipe

[Jason125m]

Absolutely beautiful, one of the nicest R's i've ever seen. Great Job!
