Isn't that a 1989? The 1990 model had red forks I believe.

I asked brother, he said he wanted the one I had..I was well prepared to buy him whatever he wanted.

Whoa ... knowing that things never look as crazy in pics or video, THAT pic is scary!

I remember my 1992 YZ250 really had grunt and loved being short-shifted. This pic reminds me of launching like shown above, yet it was always controlled.

Thanks for sharing - that amp'd me up for the remainder of the day!
