nls2299 Added a reply to 93 & 96 CR250 projects - looking for parts
10/5/2014 5:54am Well, No bike for me. The guy put me off twice because of his schedule, finally Wednesday we locked down that we'd meet Saturday at 1pm. Literally a half hour before I was to leave to make the one hour drive, he texts me to say he sold it. I've been beyond p***** ever since. Who knows when I'll find...

10/1/2014 10:16am Thank you! I was wondering how much it would affect the bike for now.

8/23/2013 5:31am So to keep it short, I started on an RM80 at 14, then onto a YZ125 very soon after. Never raced either, ran the strip mines for fun with friends. Got into street after that, CBR600, GSXR750. Got into Harleys after that 1983 Wide Glide, 2001 Softail. Along the way, had kids, and got them on 2 wheels, but I...

8/22/2013 9:23am Thanks for the feedback guys. Anyone have much experience on the 97-99 CR250's? Everyone says the frames and suspension are so harsh, but would a novice, and someone in my weight range, notice it that much really?
