why is it that the 81-84 aircooled 250r's are always reffered to as air foolers???
i get why the 85-86 is called a water pumper but why the "fooler" for the old air cooled trikes? just one of those things that make me go hmmmmmmmmm???????

why isnt the 350X called an air fooler also....its air cooled????
No reason, really..
And the 350X isn't called anbecause its just a 350X.. there aren't 2 kinds of them. But when you say 250R.. your R could be either a fooler or a water pumper..

so the fooler part comes from aircoolers with the 300 kit, since you would be fooled by its apperance and surprised when it left you in the dust thinking it was a regular 250r????

I thought it was for the fool that bought an air cooled instead of a water pumper. air cool to air fooler cause people think air cooled is for fools. pure speculation tho...

Its just a term for the 81-84 250Rs that originated here many years ago. I think it was either 86waterpumper (willie) or 2strokepower (Jay) that started it.
cool beans thanks for the answers my mind can be at ease now lol...

i certainly dont feel like a fool for buying my air R. the real fools are the guys on the quads while i have money for upgrades and more trikes. they have a monthly bill.

my roommate just got a new raptor and it sure isnt $6,000 faster than my R. Maybe fifty bucks faster, and a another $100 for the elec start....but that doent make it any faster either.
