Well i dunno if i should post this here but eh what can you do ^_^.

Some of you might know i ride dirtbikes and have been stuck with the lazy mans trail bike for a year now, Well i got bored of the old gal and traded her in for a sexier more faster model ;). Just got an 2009 Honda CRF250R for 8 Grand (Thank you Queensland) She goes like the ducks nuts when you crack the throttle and man cant i wait to take her out on her first ride this Sunday :D. I will post more picture if i manage to break bones :)

Pictures got taken at night sorry

I was going to say that the 8K is a long way toward a lib or mods, then I read your last post. Generous Grandmother for sure!

Enjoy it mate! Sounds like you're going to have some fun on it.

And respect to all the grandparents out there. They really are the most generous people on earth - all they ever want to do is give. :good:

P.S- You should have bought a 09 Berg off me :wink:

man, you're gunna have one hell of a fire cracker under you. Have a mate in Vic who has an 07 (I think) CRF250R and another friend who has a Sherco 450 reckons the 250R is little less than a race bike. Super stiff suspension. Super flickable though.

Oh, and do your research on top ends for the 250R. There are rebuild kits with stainless valves available to replace the OEM jobs. These last a hell of a lot longer and are a fair bit cheaper.

Awesome Husky, Supposedly the 450 Husky tears the CRF450X a new tail pipe. I like riding trails always fun but with the 250R i might be a little afraid now lmao. If i only had more mate in NSW who rode dirtbikes

Lol Alan if you ever want to learn ill ask if dad will lend you his bike to practice on :P. That bike has taken a hell of a beating, Bent bars, Screwed forks (Thank you rain for your ever so dangerous ruts :evil:) So i guess the 230F can take a few more hits cause dad aint gonna ride it like it did. probably get turned into a hunting bike its that quiet when the baffle is in

I managed to bend the forks on my shitty mountain bike..and then I just turned the handle bars and shit backwards lol
