Very very nice  8)
MX250 would you ride it if you won enough on the scratchy to own it ?
Being over restored and the price makes it very frustrating in my honest opinion-that it will probably never go to its full potential and be riden.  :(
Oh well looks like another collectors item.
cheers

Hmmmm, I greatly admire the detail of the work even if it not an historical representation of what left the factor. It is now a piece of art. I would ride it but I wouldn't race it. Some fast 9/10th laps at a CD or demo laps on classic grass MX probably. But not leaping off the Wall at Kembla in the mud :-[.

Just one small prob remains; to finding that damn scratchie.......... ;D
