I have a 250 Apache and a 250 Retro star.
I say wheels - what I have done is bought TKC Continental MX tyres for the stock rims. (They both use the same rim)
The Apache was a sample we bought in and is Carb not Efi (Which I prefer as I like a bit of back yard tinkering at times) so its a one off.
They both have the same engine only the Apache is oil cooled. To be honest I prefer the retro250 off road, as its lower centre of gravity is good for people like me who havent got perfect balance. But like I say that is just a personal thing.
This is a pic a customer sent me the other day at Salisbury. Odly, my bike is pretty much exactly the same. Stripped of anything extra.
Tyres in the stock rim size are hard to get, but I have a trick to get around this by using two rear tyres. it makes no difference at all - and is great off road on mud etc as expected.

That bike is disappointingly clean.
If offroading around Salisbury Plain then this is a fun place to go: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.2432709,-1.6895395,1204m/data=!3m1!1e3
Technically it's a tank driving course rather than a legit right of way but seeing as the army drive tanks around there, the chances of a bike doing any damage or bothering anyone are slim. |
