Edited Date/Time:
I know the McGrath replica thing is "played out" to some, but the 13yr old kid in me gets all kinds of nostalgic feelings when I see these bikes. Plus, I always loved the look of the 1996 CR250 in general. Fast forward to this morning... I see this posted in my area. Spoke with the guy today and we agreed on a trade deal. Seller seems like a good dude my age who will probably become a riding buddy. He bought the bike a couple years ago with intentions of a full restore, but has only ridden it up and down the street a few times and now realizes he has too many projects. He's the 3rd owner, bike originally came from the Pennsylvania area.
Anyways, looking for input on what to look for on these bikes. NOT looking for a critique of the McGrath replica aspect (I'll go down that rabbit hole later - though if anyone has a really good link to a reference/thread on that, feel free to post it)..
Mostly looking for input on known issues with this year bike, etc. I'm leaving for Key West on Thursday, so I won't be meeting him until next week. In the meantime, I want to perform my due diligence on these machines. Thanks in advance for the tips! (btw, seller removed the ad, so nobody bother looking for it and trying to snipe me! :laugh
Positively, absolutely 110% obsessed with anything MOTO.
