    :shock: Thats one hell of a bike. Is this the RM you were talking about trading for your 250r or did you buy this. Again awesome bike.

    This thing is scary fast. At one time I was considering a 500 dirtbike, but damn.. this 250 is more then I will ever need. The only thing that sucks is, its setup and running 110 octane racing fuel. I cant really afford the $5 a gallon price, but I guess Im gonna have to.
    We're heading out in half an hour to go ride it hard for the first time. Ill see how it jumps, and try to get away from being so gun shy.. (first time on a dirt bike... Ive been a 3 wheeler man all my life)

    That is a nice bike, Looks like all you need to really make it shine is the case covers on both sides.

    Nice Find!

    The mods that I know of, is its been ported, just gone through (new crank, new bearings and seals all the way around) rad valves, new Bills pipe and silencer, nice sprockets (cant remember the brand) and a crap load of addons (most costly was the applied racing billet tree and raisers, and tag handlebars)
    Im pricing clutch and ignition covers, but Ill leave these on till Im used to it more. Id hate to put brand new ones on, then wreck it the next day.
