hey guys i'm new up here.
so this will be both my introduction as a project thread.
my name is bart i'm from the netherlands and i spend most of my time workin as a crane operator.
in my spare time i ride ATV freestyle most of the time.
and during the long winters i restore old bikes from the 80's
A couple of years ago i owned a kawasaki T3.
that was my first bike that had more then 2 wheels, since i had only been riding dirtbikes before.
i kinda restored it but i was pretty young back then and had little experience so it didnt turn out that good for the old T3.
sold the bike and bought a dirtbike again.
owned that for a couple of months untill i saw this quadzilla for sale for 1500.
sold the DB and bought the LT500.
this bike turned out quite good.
sold it again after owning it about 8 months.
the day after i sold the 500 i went to amsterdam and bought a TRX250r from a bar owner that used it to ride supermotard.
also fully restored that bike and sold it again.
i do regret the fact that i sold the both of them cause they where fun as hell to ride around.
from the money i got out of the 250 i bought a YFZ450 that i only use to ride freestyle.
it has everything it needs.
but now that winter is comin up again i need a project bike to get me through the cold months.
and so i bought an atc250r yesterday.
its 86 model.
engine got blown to peices there's a hole in one of the cases.
5 gears broke is several chunks.
the former owner split the cases using pry bars so i guess you guys kinda understand what this engine looks like.
today i started to tear it down.
allready found a good running engine at a guy i know from some sales.
and came across some nice addons.
well i wont bother you guys with the bad english anymore heres the pics frome the bike with the plastics on.
and some pics of the engine and gears.
