Sometimes an opportunity is too good to pass up. In my totally unrelated to bikes travels today I came across this slightly used XL250R. In fact all the parts are there and it was obviously a project someone has started then abandoned.
It all started when I took an old fridge to the dump or 'refuse exchange centre' for a mate. On my way through to the scrap metal section I spotted this little beauty, parked on it's stand with all the parts sitting alongside in neatly labelled boxes. I bargained the dump dude down from $100 to $55. It was there, I had $55 and a big empty trailer.......it was almost irresponsible not to take it away..
So now I have project number 2 waiting for project number 1 to conclude. No idea what lies in store for the little 250 although I'm quite sure it will involve a grinder.
Love 'em to death mate, between me and a couple of mates we've got about 10 XL500Rs brilliant bulletproof and max grin factor
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a bargain twin shock 500 but no luck yet. All of a sudden anything decent in a twin shock MX has become sought after an expensive.
