Be CAREFUL... I rode 250 mx'ers for years and LOVE em but with a bike that will do 70 mph RIGHT NOW when it goes wrong it happens FAST! Most recently I had an 87 zuki rm 250 w an la sleeve 295 big bore kit, fmp pipe n silencer boysean dual stage reeds bigger carb and some nasty port work... would wheelie rolling in top gear at 70 mph like it was nothing..... Also had a 91 rmx 250 all stock... same as an rm except wider gear spacing and a headlight.... Wish I still had that one.... Sold em when I was your age after busting several ribs and removing the skin from my right arm, chest, both knees, side of my right hand, right hip, and a$$ cheeks... seems like there were a couple broken fingers in that one too..... Took a WHILE to heal up that time. That certainly wasn't my first crash but at 35 I didn't bounce like I did at 20.

I also had a 4 wheeler that actually broke my buddy's foot by kicking back when he tried to start it in tennis shoes... was a nasty zuki lt-500r

DAMN look what you went and did.... got me thinkin and now I gotta go check craigslist....

Well, I had a Kaw KH400 2 stroke 3 cylinder (Only bike I ever had that came stock with a spare set of plugs in a little case under the seat) Used to foul them all the time. That was a speedstar, but the one the really scared me was my Yammy RD350 Crotch rocket. Another 2 stroker and like yours, it would lift the front wheel in all gears. And yes, when it goes bad, it goes bad in a hurry. Be careful

RD350? I had a friend that had a RD400 Daytona Special, probably the most fun I've ever had on two wheels. Every time i think about getting something with two wheels, I remind myself why I'm building a rock buggy, theres something nice about having a full cage of 1.75 DOM tubing around you, and still have enough power to act a fool without killing yourself



Stink, what ORV park is near you?

Looked a lot like this. My tank was more of an orange color, but otherwise this is pretty much what I had. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMmjA6tWUwY
