This might be a repost, or old news...if so, sorry. Here are some shots of Cole Seely’s Honda CR250R Straight Rhythm ride. Pretty sweet...if you like Goth Hondas.

*Pics from RacerX Illustrated

In one of his Vlogs, Cole said the motor & suspension were straight factory team issue.

The forks, shock, and pipe are solid... the rest looks like someone went overboard trying to be artsy and creative.

Looks like Hanny's 250SX bike from a few years back.

Agreed. Looks like a Metal Mulisha FMX bike.

Did he take the bike out to dinner? Why did he choose to take pictures in a restuarant?

He has 5 or more videos on YouTube detailing the entire rebuild.

It was originally red, but Troy Lee got him to take it in this direction as an O-show tribute. Personally, not a big fan of it, but whatever. Check out the build, the bike is totally trick.

I think it looks awesome... There were black bikes before FMX and they looked bad ass, there are mostly black bikes now like the PC Kawies that look bad ass and there will be bikes in the future that will include black and look bad ass... I think it would look good with a bright red front end but the white does look clean... this is just my opinion though, feel free to disagree...

Not a huge fan of the all black bike, but the restaurant looks killer.
Where is that?

I actually like the bike.

But I think it´s kind of lame to call this a bike build...

All he does is disassemble the bike and then throw parts at it he doesn´t have to pay for that aren´t available to the public normally.

I prefer "real" builds by real people who have skills, endurance in researching for parts and have to work for their stuff.

I can take or leave the black or white, kinda looks like a freestyle rig and factory honda bikes – which I'd assume he could have done still, are all time classic. Thats a Woody bike really.

Either way, I really find it hard to look at modern plastic on old bikes. It seems it's gotta be all or nothing.

There is an RM in the Straight Rhythm thread that works but I think it's all modern...

That CR250 was a great looking bike. The front fender looks out of place.

Funny, that the second the riders have free choice with bike parts, they choose x-trig clamps.
Btw, I like the bike’s look!

Ugliest build ever! That looks more like a 2002 Metal Mulisha freestyle bike. The bike had a red front fender 3 days ago on his last vlog. Super disappointing.

Bloke worked his ass off to be a pro racer and retires due to injuries etc, not his fault he has friends in high places?🤷🏼‍♂️

When I first saw he was going black I wasn't a fan. But honestly seeing it together now I can dig it.

Here of some pics of that rare Kayaba works shock on the 2004 CRF450 of Kenjiro Tsuji.. So glad Cole kept it original instead of making it black.

How is Cole's bike a Mugen Honda/O'Mara replica, wasn't that bike all white with a blue seat?

I love it. Distinctive and bad-ass. That red shock spring is amazing looking.
