My 250R Fooler Collection

[250x]

well that'll be easy. Are we after displacement build or cosmetic, or both?

 

[Prime]

Most people want to do both. But, most can't afford to do both.

can't do the chatbox....apparently because I don't own a blaster I am not allowed to HAHA

Harleys..... I have nothing nice to say so I won't say anything.

 

[zmaro]

Looks like you did a very nice job bringing them back to life, those first pictures looked pretty rough.

 

[Longview]

I want to buy a frame, and just build slowly from the ground up.

 

[250x]

i have 3-4 1st gen frames, and a spare 2nd gen frame I could sell.. you local?

 

[250x]

AJ, here is a picture of the Mugen size different in piston. On the left is a stock cylider .80 over piston... on the right is the 89.8895 Mugen piston.

Paulie B that one is nice, definately my favorite and the only one tame enough for me to want to ride. Three wheels FTW, I like my training wheel.

lol yes it is. Have a Namura repl 90mm piston coming for it now, should be 4-5 days before I get it and then off to machine shop to be bore and honed to new piston/rings...then I start finishing this white '82. I found my next project also...and the motor is available to me cheap enough....watch the build thread in about a month when I can get started on it.
For now...trikes have taken over my shop, my house, my basement, and even one in my bedroom.....my wife thinks I have a problem with hording...I told her thats nothing next to her s(crap)booking all over the place..lol

I have been searching and have yet to figure out why they are called "foolers"

 

[250x]

slang for air-cooled.

 

[NOVIS]

lookin good! ive been wanting one of these. but i dont need to be blowing money on another toy lol. i think a atc250r or a tri-z will be my next project though

 

[Paulie B]

I have been searching and have yet to figure out why they are called "foolers"

Cause the every man see's that it's air-cooled and assumes it's old tech and slow but they will be 'fooled'

 

[darnizzle8805]

OH I understand now.

 

[250x]

has nothing to do with being fooled. its just slang for air-cooled. Aircooled R's are incredibly fast when setup properly. Each R owner has different opinions about liquids being faster..I will line my '82 rider up against any and all of them, whether honda, zuki, kawai, yamaha, ALL of them, and in 300 feet, I will beat them, unless they are running like a 4mil.
