Post by: mx250 on July 01, 2010, 07:37:36 am: Gee, a tough room to play to :-[.

The question is never 'why' but rather 'Why not' ;) ;D.

From what I can see it's a pretty tidy Hybrid.

Post by: cyclegod on July 01, 2010, 05:03:15 pm: I like hybrid's, but it's obvious here that he gave up trying to find a water pump cover for the CR and went with something that has parts in abundance.

My hybrids have all been a necessity of budget...
First was an RD350A in a YZ frame followed by an XT500 in the same frame (road licensed too ;D)
Second was an XL185 in a RM125A roller
Third was a RZ350 in an RG250 roller (both aquired by insurance auction)
and.... does a TS125 powered steel bathtub/trike count?

Post by: sudman on July 01, 2010, 05:04:40 pm: I have a Honda roller, what Honda motor do I have? :-\
I have built a few hydrids in my time 76 CR125 with a XL125 motor (built 1981) bored to 145, 80 PE250 with a DR370 motor (built 1982), 79 RM125N with a PE250 motor (built 2006), the two 125's went the best by far.

But this thing is just plain sad :-[ I would be embarrassed to put it up for sale.

Post by: shorelinemc on July 02, 2010, 03:57:04 pm: i am building a hybrid -TT500 IN RM 370 frame pre 78 bike but why a xl350 into a pre 85 lots better motors around to suit the era or just buy a xr 250/350/500 and put the cr gear under it dont see the point

Title: Re: Hybrid??
Post by: shorelinemc on July 02, 2010, 05:39:41 pm: better but still falls into the same category as the cr/xl if it was in a pre 75 frame that would be very nice

Post by: bigk on July 02, 2010, 05:42:45 pm: Ever seen the movie The toxic Avenger? He was better looking than any of those ugly hybrids. They look like tards and are just WRONG!
