I totally agree....you cant beat that sound. But i prefer my honda. Die Hard 250R fan.

They ride like 250 dirt bike except they don't rev as fast, but it almost feels stronger through the revs.

[2002 cr250r]

maybe cuz they have more power to the ground for those revs .. ?

They have a counterbalancer and a heavier flywheel that slows down the revs.

I cant believe there aren't more people with R's posting up pics. I have seen blaster pic threads and zilla threads and they have a lot more pics. Aren't there more people on here with R's??

Sweet picks of my r, huh? There's so many beautiful machines on this site I had to throw these in for laughs. I got her after taxes last year, bought a pipe and new wheels at Inland ATVs, took it to Glenn Helen and threw the chain after maybe ten minutes. JB weld wasn't gonna fill the gaping hole in the dike where the shifter comes out... I think the shifter forks were trashed as well.
These shots were taken last week. It's a little cleaner now and I swapped in an ebayed stock motor. I won a pair of stock length PEPs tonight, too! I'm still holding my breath after that maiden run, though...

I've learned a lot from you guys here.

Also, looking for an oversized tank....

Ouch that sucks. My motor did the same thing. The chain jumped and bent the shift shaft down and demolished the cases. I had a spare case though.

You should be safe as far as your shit forks go. They don't even come in contact with the shift shaft. Mine looked just like yours and everything was fine inside.

What kind of mods were done to the motor that the cases broke?

You should check out my bike. Its a real turd. Its the first post.

You should have left it that way I don't know that there was anything special about the old motor, but I'll tear it apart someday and see what I've got. It was the shifter forks on that one that I think were cashed. It'll be another good project ... at least I can pull the cylinder and send it to eviltwin or fiveOnick for some crafting once I get ahead a little bit. But enough about me and my boring azz stuff.

So what were you into your r for, three grand to pimp it out? It looks well balanced and pretty to boot. Did I read you right that you've sold it? I put those pictures up because they were so preposterous.

[RichM1983]

If your talking to me thats not what my R looks like. Its not mine actually. Its what I'm aiming for mine to look like. I bought the plastic from the guy who owns the bike in my avatar and still nee the nerfs and a-arms. Mine still looks like the one in the first post of the thread. I will start re doing it this coming summer because right now I'm in school and dont live with my parents where the bikes at.
