Default 07 RM 250

Something a bit different!
Used to have motocrossers when I was younger and have always wanted another after selling my 96 RM 125 to fund the XR2

Some may have noticed progress has stalled a bit on the xr2, mainly cause I've bought this and my wife is now pregnant :shock: :cool!:
Need to get all my toys bought before he/she arrives! :blub: :blub:

Will be carrying on with the xr2 soon but unfortunately it'll be going back in the garage for winter once fixed

Anyway here she is

Cheers man!
Yeah its pretty clean, just put the graphics on it as they were a little tatty when I bought it but it seems to have had pretty light use.
Pops wheelies for fun, had the front wheel lifting in 4th

Nice bikes. I like the older bikes, especially the 95/96 steel frame CR's!

What was the power like on the 500? Must have been an animal

It was like riding a rodeo bull mate far too much power for the mountain
but serious fun, kicking it over was a proper mission, when it kicked back
you ended up flat on your back lol.

Nice bikes mate! How do you find the 4 stroke? Better or worse than the 2?

For mx I prefer 2-stroke. It is lighter and more fun than 4 stroke.
Now I don't ride mx as much as I did, so I bought an 450 4-stroke enduro.
It's fun but I miss my 2-stroke
