keister's 1985 250R

[keister]

I took delivery on this beauty at Smith Road and my first ride was around the MX track. I have never been happier with a machine in my life.

Mad props to Seadoo650 for finding this in a barn in Ohio and securing it for me. It is in far better condition than I could have expected. OEM everything (except the twister) right down to the rear sprocket and plastic plugs on the front calipers.

I still can't believe how clean it is. There hasn't been a rattle can or a welder within 20 feet of this baby! The seat is mint, too. The 80's Maire's are a little droopy, but this is a track only bike - not a show bike. I will replace them after I break them.

Mods so far
ITP wheels / Fast Trekkers
Parking brake block
Tether kill switch
Old school number plate
Clutch lever
3" aluminum wheel spacers

Thumb throttle (to be added at TF '09)

Here she is boys and girls. See you on the track at TrikeFest!!

[Kintore]

Pipe ASAP sponkers!

c mon now!

i love it dude, even felt "fast" to me!

[Louis Mielke]

Don't listen to anyone, leave that pipe on there! lol

Now if you really want to get something going, I'll hook you up with a spare front wheel and we'll get you a 22" KT151 tire for the front. That will make that thing turn on a dime and you can put that miny OEM front on the shelf for a rainy day. You'll appreciate that waayyy more than a pipe. Betcha kintore will agree. Those big floppy tall front tires aren't all that great for MX. The OTC has proven that.

[Kintore]

Like trying to turn a tractor in a china shop!

[MonroeMike]

One heck of a find. That looks good from every angle.

One heck of a find. That looks good from every angle.

Agreed. It's best angle is the view from the seat with the front wheel hoisted in the air.

Thanks for the compliments and suggestions everyone. I am so happy with it I could just poop!

I've got an FMF TurbineCore silencer for that bad boy I'll make you a sick deal on.

Great to see the awesome ride Bill!

thanks for the offer. i'm not sure what i am going to do yet, but i will get back to you...... probably nothing for a while - it already has a lot more punch than i can handle.

Added 3" on each side. This should give me some help in the corners at the TF mototcross. Should give me a little edge on some of the competition. I need all the help I can get!!

[atctim]

Dude - that thing is "Dead Sexy!"
