Alright Guys.... I traded this 2001 CR 250 that I completely restored from the frame up.... I traded it for a 2002 CR250 that needed an extreme amount of work to be ready to ride...
I wanted the better forks, handling, and a narrower bike. Also for it to look updated.
It was nice, but it was time for it to go. On to the 2002...........

Here's the Bike I traded for... Quite the downgrade but I was determined to rebuild it like my 01.
It needed lots of love. It had an FMF Gnarly pipe brand new and a 304 shorty... thing made absolutely no power for a race track. It wouldn't rev out at all.... Gnarly pipes are made for woods only. Not racers.

NOW TO THE GOOD STUFF
....Here are the pics from the day I sold the bike (Sad Day)



See Fitment of Skid Plate Where I Cut out on left side


























Here's a photo of me before I was going out to enjoy the bike. Polka Dots MX: Midland, MI



I no longer own this bike. I sold it with 7.8 Hours on it. It was mint. I'm still in love with it, but the people that I sold it to wodded it up doing a wheelie down a gravel road the week they go it.

It will forever have a spot in my heart.

Thanks for checking it out.
