Hi all.
Just picked up this ratty looking sr250 for reasonable(ish) money. Seems to be in fairly decent working order just needs a little tlc. Slow as old wotnot it has to be said, so I'll be looking for ideas to try and breathe some life into her. It's a first project so I'll be mostly looking at the aesthetics then hopefully working up from there. It's bugs me sideways how much my 650 costs at the dealer but as she's only a year and a bit old I'm loathe to do much spannering myself, so I'm hoping this will be a bit of an educational journey too on the mechanical side.
Going to swap out the bars for some low/wide trial ones over the weekend - just can't cope with what's on there now
Anyhoos, worthless without pics I know, so here she is....
(Ixil exhaust that pops and rumbles away quite nicely)
The idea is to give it a cafe/retro look - time will tel......
