Thread: XR650R

after a weekend

I've got almost no photos of me racing back in the day, but jumped on my mates 250XC a couple of weeks back with a pair of redbands on and couldn't help but hit the jumps.



No crashes but it took a while realise I couldn't ride like I used to, not too far off though.

.....yeah, used to bounce.....but sadly no more.

I have a seat for that Sherco. Off a '68 Honda step through C100. Only bitten once by the horse. $30.

Im going to revive this old thread.
Im loving the bikes and stories.

Anyone have a xr250 for sale

There’s a mint road registered 2003 xr 400 and XR 650 R on trade me

Both very rare bikes in Nz

Thanks but really after an 80's or 90's xr250.

Be good for doing stuff

That's just pure evil, right there.

Almost the same with the '96 KX500 I had. The power valves calmed it compared to the Honda CR500 thankfully.

Got a mate who throws money at projects like this. He's building a Bert Munroe beach racer on a CR frame. He's bored and stroked his CR500 and I think it sits at 630cc's now. Absolutely insane levels of almost uncontrollable power.
