    Someday.. it will be a bike.

    Well...

    I went out today to aquire a complete bike and a " Bunch of parts " ... enough to make a 2nd one.

    not quite as i expected, but still got enough to make one complete runner with minor extra investment.

    Can anyone tell me if Xr 200 R ' s between 88 and 91 ish... have reservoire shock in the rear and air valves up front ? the front forks look beefier than expected on an XR.. told they could be CR 125.

    Gonna take a while but i'll have a sweet bike by the time i'm done.

    Thanks Rob !

    I doubt that they would but Ive heard ones from those years had great suspension.

    this is a suzuki site. but aparently the 17 character Vin's are universal.. the 10th character tells the year.

    H = 1987
