When you dress a bike up like that i would have to question weather the owner has anything to tuck  ;D ;D ;D

I was going to suggest the guy have his appendage removed after doing that to the poor old girl  ;D ;D
Looking for YZ250C parts NOS if possible

The only triple jumps he would have been doing are the hop, skip & jump.

      I hate Gold paint ! it all stems back to my first bike- a bantam  (1969 at age 10)  the dropkick my old man got it off painted the whole thing gold and it hardly ever ran ! musta pushed it 100 miles   :-[ but the bit that really gets me about this poor old elsinore  is  why not get the tank decal straight - is it really that hard ???

Price is more frightening than the color scheme, they would haveto have used real gold plating, one of those bikes that doesn't really fit in a class and is uncompetitive in any that it would fit in.

This rooms getting harder and harder to please, yep that little Elsinore is plug ugly but there are blokes on here with uglier and worse presented bikes. In retrospect, VMX problably shouldn't have featured the Rockstar Suzuki RM but are you all going to take the piss forever? How many of you got the joke?....Very few, and that was Kens mistake, thinking we were all sophisicated enough to see the irony in his presenting the bloody thing. I guess in a world that's becoming more beige and conservative as the years move on you'd be satisfied with 90 pages of safe bland white/yellow/red plastic pre 90 stockers. If that's the case, we won't need VMX magazine, we'll get all the info and entertainment we need from the brochures we keep in a shoe box under the bed next to the dog eared copies of Hustler. As much as that little multi coloured Elsinore, the Rockstar Suzuki and even Hodakas and DT1 Yamaha's might not fit into what you want to see in the magazine, (or at the race track for that matter) there are many others who are glad to see the variety, whether it be good, bad or even ugly. Narrowness in attitude towards life and society, not just dirt bikes really shits me no end.

  *It's 0nly 10.20 and it's already 38 degrees, this heat has me riled up and I've got a 4 hour drive in the stinkin' fluckin' heat ahead of me.. >:( >:(

Hey Mark, if Ken can take the piss then why cant we?......and on another point....do we really need to see shitboxes like the puckstar RM when there are 1,000,s of cool bikes and stories out there that we havent seen....christ, how much cool euro stuff have we not seen?.....why inflate a septic tanks ego when really he was taking the piss?....I bet old mate wont be happy when it gets pointed out.....might have another Sandy Hook masacre on our hands in Sydney soon.....I know it's been 7 years Mark, but maybe this year? ;D

I totally agree with marks comments, the honda is a clean looking bike, the choice of colour is not to everybody taste,you only need to visit a classic scramble club meeting to see the shit boxes that riders call bikes,  and others put a lot in there presentation, each to there own. people are quick to judge.
