That is seriously one of my favorite 250Rs. LOVE the swingarm and sub-frame design, very nice.

I was just sitting here looking at those pictures some more. Ya know how in Terminator, his skin gets scraped off and you can see all the rods/metal/hydraulics under it? When I look at that R, thats what the entire back half of it looks like and reminds me of. The front half is all OEM show/skin. The back half is custom built bad assedness showing through since the fake is scraped off.



Yes I know I'm crazy, sorry :lol:

Thats what I thought. The swinger looks familure too, Im friends with the owner of NW Custom Sand Toys. He had a few chassis up there with that kinda swinger. Plus he has a super sick 250R drag quad all black with green flames. Maybe you have seen it...

Yeah I remember when he thought that. He brought it out last Thanksgiving and found out that was not the case.

Not sure if I know Nick, he own a banshee?

Nick is the guy in the black hoody working on the banshee in the pic. I think he was riding the super clean 85 CR500 down there that weekend. If not he might have been on one of Marty's bikes.
