See how it stacks up to the current cross country weapon.

Trail riding I could keep up with the big boys for a while. Never quite got the suspension set up properly for my height. They were floating over the rough stuff while I was doing a couple of rounds with Mike Tyson. Plenty of grunt though.

Sell it to Cary.

Get it into singletrack forest work and it becomes very heavy very quickly - you hang out for the straights and roads to rest up! like Bart said though, never an issue with torque, just inertia.

My beastie of course.

250cc 4 stroke, UniCam 4 valve head...

Pretty much the same as any of the CRF250's...

Me too!

Actually, I'd like to do a 3-hour cross country on anything I could get my grubby mitts on.

OK, a few more goodies thrown in.

Road wheels

They don't fit the 650.

I bought them off a guy who raced a DRZ400 (not this bike). Tyres are shit so I never really used them.

Road wheels gone. Price dropped to 6k.

Getting sick of it taking up shed space.

Do I hear $5700..............anyone.

And no, I don't want to trade. I've had 4 offers now for trades. Obviously the bike market has slowed down a lot lately.
