Not sure if you have given any thought to a name for your R yet, but I like the "Holy Grail" that you've been using. It just sounds right.

Hey Jasong_10, That's a great idea, Q. how do you like the 18 inch rear tires on your R?

Hey Jasong_10, That's a great idea, Q. how do you like the 18 inch rear tires on your R?

Love them. They make gears 1-3 pretty short but I went up a tooth in the front to compensate (you could drop one or two in the back as well if going up one in the front still left them too short for your liking). My favorite part is the look and stance, with the rear lower I don't feel like I'm "tipping" forward while riding, and it feels much more stable while turning/sliding.

Those are all the same reasons I like a smaller back tire, wasn't sure how the R reacted to an 18, which is what I am leaning toward.

just watched your new video. That lineup of sport bikes getting impressive! I'd love to have half your room to build and play. your right about finding so many more hardtails vs sport bikes. Is there a atc70 in the stable? If not is it something your looking for? Locally it seems the biggest 350x baddest 250r and the smallest atc70 are the ones that costs the most, everything else is in between.
Only comment I will say about buying trikes. Buyers stand in line when someone else has one for sale, I throw one up for sale (usually mine are the cheapest, running atc on craigslist) and all I hear are crickets. Actually they always sell, but we're talking 5 to 600 bucks for running hardtails with titles.
Can't wait for the future videos, I loved the boneyard extra. If I had room, I'd have a atc whole herd of atc's. jim

Hey Jim,
Thanks for watching. I have had a couple atc70, but i have sold them all. I have that ct70 mini bike, its a clone, they sell strong right around 1k. I have 175 in that one, it runs like a top, i mean better than a sewing machine. lol
yes, I find scratched and clawed my way to the big 3 250r, 350x and 200x. You all have been a part of that here @ 3wheelerworld. Between this thread and the "who flips trikes" i have documents most of the bikes I have bought /built.
Now that I have them, I just want to make them better. the 250r starts so good its hard to believe. I want to get the 350x running that good. I have almost sold it because its hard to start.
Thanks and Jim.

watching your 250r videos is making me want to start hunting up another one. I've got a 1972 sapphire blue ct70, maybe I can find someone willing to trade. jim

I don't understand the popularity of the 70. I mean, you have to be 7 year old to fit on one. But, they go for a lot out here in AZ, like Jim said.

[Jim mac]

I'm 200 pounds and can fit on my atc70, I look like a circus monkey on it but they are fun. jim

Just watched his video on tires, and messaged mrc builds through face book. I may be buying his old tires, I collect old discontinued tires as long as the tread is decent

Yeah, I've got Razr MX style tires on both my R and my X, and I'm very happy with them. There are a ton of 18" tread/compound options out there as that's what most MX racers run, combine that with the ability to adjust gearing and tire pressure, and the possibilities are almost endless. Then regardless of what setup you have, with the R you can always override it with the throttle
