Honda XL250 Baja Advertisement
« on: February 19, 2013, 06:32:31 pm »
About 10 years ago, I bought a magazine with an advert on the back page that had a shot of an XL250 Motosport at Baja with 3 big lights bolted to the front.
Well now, I can't find that magazine or even the photo online.
Would anyone have any idea what I'm on about or even have a copy of that advert?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe I'm deaf, mad and blind, but I can't see it on there either Bazz.
Thanks for the thought mate.

19 or 21 as unless you are reducing the rear too, then an 18 distant last. 19 & 21 have worlds more tyre choices too.

Suss isn't it ,this being sensible business.

I'm building a DT1 Baja style desert bike Tony and I'm using a 19" wheel/400 trials tyre combo like on that XL Honda in the ad.
