    interesting looking 250R

    Nice, but if he only did all the red in black I think it would have looked much better.

    Different, thats for sure and those forks.......Oh,man!!!!

    Yea, that's it exactly Chris!! An R caught in a time warp transformation and it never quite made it to the Z.

    Actually, he cut the ends off his 250R triple clamps & welded on the ends from the motocrosser's triple clamps. A 250R's triple clamps cannot be bored out big enough to fit those massive 46mm Kayabas.
