Another Yamaha SR250 build. Grand Rapids, MI.

[porcelanowy]

Hello
I was considering TT/XT250 option, but I am not convinced it would suite street bike.

I must say yours, as it is, looks good
Will you be bracing it under the engin?

I have a small can on mine. Well, it is loud

This humble bike was a $500 craigslist barn find. Just over 3400 original miles. From what I was told, and having a title that confirms, this bike was ridden most of its miles at Northern Michigan University's basic rider course. Passed hands three times since but doesn't seem to have been ridden much. Needed a few parts but cranked and rode fine on some dry-rotting tires. The plan is to turn this bike into a scrambler with a slightly upgraded suspension, exhaust, and electrical. All work will be done out of my garage. I am really hoping to come across some other Japanese motorcycle garage builders here in Grand Rapids. If you are in the area, definitely reach out.

Just found this. I love SRs and yours looks super cool! well done!

Cet humble vélo était une trouvaille de grange Craigslist de 500 $. Un peu plus de 3400 miles d’origine. D’après ce qu’on m’a dit, et ayant un titre qui le confirme, ce vélo a parcouru la plupart de ses kilomètres lors du cours de base de l’Université Northern Michigan. Il s’est passé la main trois fois depuis, mais il ne semble pas avoir été beaucoup monté. J’avais besoin de quelques pièces, mais j’ai démarré et j’ai bien roulé sur des pneus pourrissants. Le plan est de transformer cette moto en un scrambler avec une suspension, un échappement et un système électrique légèrement améliorés. Tous les travaux seront effectués dans mon garage. J’espère vraiment rencontrer d’autres constructeurs de garages de motos japonais ici à Grand Rapids. Si vous êtes dans la région, n’hésitez pas à me contacter.

Great project that joins mine here in Canada not far from Montreal. We could exchange our experiences of our respective projects. For me it will be a Scrambler version.
