Funny you should ask, new yank owner leaves the country 19th January but I have already sold it for him to a guy in Tauranga who called after I had sold it...Tauranga man is apparently going to drop him to airport so all worked out grand for current owner!

i used to see the pest control board heading out of town with a 4wd hilux towing a trailer full of xr200's with rifle scabbards mounted down the fork legs.....i used to think, what a perfect job, patroling fence lines on an xr with a gun!

**fridayflash** · 31st December 2013, 19:34

yeeehawwwww!!!!!!!

**Waipukbiker** · 31st December 2013, 19:37

Eddy, That XR200 that we both had a ride on yesterday could be up for sale, spoke to the owner last night and she indicated that its hard to justify keeping it. I may have found a couple of good shocks for the "A" Model too.
