Side note...
I came across this SR250 about 2 years ago now. I first saw/heard it on a youtube video that has since been taken down
I googled for hours, on several separate occasions just to be able to find these two pictures - which I found on a Japanese forum somewhere.
It has to be one of the coolest SRs I have seen and definitely the most race prepped/intentional SR250 I have ever seen. Even though it still has lights and everything, it looks like it has been set up for track days etc and that was what the video showed as well. I see so many custom parts. The most interesting to me is probably:
_ The wheel/hub conversion/adaptation - look sick!
_ The flatslide pumper carb (wonder what throat size it has?)
_ The exhaust - it must be custom made and looks single walled as well
_ The front guard is real nice
_ The tank, obviously
_ The switch of the foot controls - why would someone set it up like this? Someone who was/is used to the old British set up with the brake on left, shifter on the right? Pretty awesome linkage set up there anyway
_ The crankcase breather catch-tank thingy. Whats going on there?
I would love to know if anyone knows any more about this bike and/or its owner. I would really like to know if there was many internal engine mods done too - I suspect there would have been. So cool!
Any takers?
