DT250 project in the works!
Hep Good people, I started this thread in the cafe section but I've decided to go in a more proper way with it. Like the title says its a 1975 Yammy 250. I've done a bunch of things to it already, new flat tracker bars, removed all unneeded stock parts(airbox, side covers, fenders ect.) It's coming along slowly but surly. I have yet to name this bike yet. Im thinking Agent Orange cus its that ugly 70's orange haha. Will keep y'all posted. Here is what it looked like and my inparation

Re: 1975 Yamaha DT-250 Bobba!

Well... Theres nothing little about the xs650. Haha. No front brake is a horrible idea, but otherwise I love it.
 
Re: 1975 Yamaha DT-250 Bobba!

Wow I haven't seen that 750 yet, looks fantastic. Would look even better with a brake!

are you refering to the black 850 in my picture with my 250? or the red 650?
 
Re: 1975 Yamaha DT-250 Bobba!

Apparently I just averaged the two together. They are both nice but I was referring to the red 650.
