PE hybrid
« on: June 12, 2014, 05:44:32 pm »
Wife is sick of me telling her how much fun vinduro's are and wants a crack at it, she is a huge Suzuki fan. Just wondering if anyone had put a four stroke in a PE 175, Thinking DR 200 motor into a 78 PE.

Any thoughts??

I have seen XR250 in 78/79 PE250
DR200 is 1986 onwards so is a no good for pre 85 Vinduros. Needs to be 1984 model or older. 82-84 model DR250 would be fine though. I would just look for the enduro (US spec, but came here in small numbers and were fitted with speedos and PE blinkers for ADR approval) model DR250 82-84 that has the full floater rear end and 36mm PE type forks, rather than try to slot something in  PE frame.

Been looking for a DR 250 Z for a while now but have given up, the odd one comes up for sale but usually 2000 km away, while that would be the easy option shed time is quality time and I would like to build something a bit different.

I thought the DR 200 started in 84, my mistake. looks like it will be a two fiddy motor then.

I agree. PE 175 wouldn't hurt a fly! You can do amazing things with them without being arrested for abuse  :o My pick is the 1981 X model. Best engine. The 82 floater Z went soft for some reason .....or was that just me  ;D

 XR 185/200 twin shock is a great women's enduro bike also.
