yeah i know, just hammering that drivetrain every time you shift. I may not have a radio but damn thats hardcore.

well like it said, it just takes some getting used to. ya just gotta be a little softer on the clutch pedal in everyday driving. but when drift/auto-x events come around, it feels soo good to have all that clamping force and grab.

Hey kouki, is that a Honda 250R I spy in the background???

Kouki7 · Post by **Kouki7** » Mon Aug 16, 2004 12:49 am

why yes it is. its an '83 XL250R that i'm using as a daily driver when its not raining. gets great gas mileage. my dad bought it back in '84 off the original owner.

Awesome! I grew up riding one. I think it was an 85 or something. My cousin was always jealous because I could pull up to the pump but we always had to go back to the house for him to refuel. I think he had a 2-stroke 125 or something. He had more torque and speed and all that jazz, but I always loved my 250. As expected I didn't ride as much once I turned 16 so the bike sat next to the shed outside for about 3 years, untouched. We decided to sell it and before we loaded it on a friend's truck we decided to see if it would crank. 2nd KICK!!! Honda knows how to build an engine!

haha awesome man. mine had sat for about 15 years unused. i had to replace the petcock and 1 fuel line. put new fuel in it and on like the 3rd kick it fired right up, after 15 years!!!!

anyways, its not a bad little bike. gets me where i'm going. once the car is back though i'm thinking of taking the insurance off the bike since i won't drive it much.
