First bike!
Just got my new toy today, an old Kawasaki KR250
No more trains to work for me!
https://users.on.net/~tjapple/photo/kr/DCP_0069s.JPG
See more below, html hates me
Engine is out of a newer one, the original had shagged itself. Frame is in good nick, electrics have been done up and a new seat. Painted about 10 years back, and some of the fairing (like below the taillight) is looking a little worse for wear. A few little things (like make up a bracket for the left hand side rear fairing since the one there is warped and making it wobble and a good clean, chain lube, etc)
Think it should do me for a while
PS, whys my html not working?

Your images don't seem to be working, I'm not sure what webpage code that is, but these boards don't like it. Normally you'd use :[img] image url [/img] or put it as an attachment. ____________________ I must not be a troll...

Couple of observations:
1) Nice bike
2) Nice colour (will always be "Ninja" green in my eyes, as the first Ninja I saw up close was that colour )
3) Weird numberplate
4) Your panel has fallen off
5) Wheels and stand need a good clean, looks like rust but could just be dirt. |

Be worth changing your post to remove the pictures from it, make them into links byt just removing the [im] and [/img] tags, there are people who don't have big monitors and broadband remember.
Rear wheel looks like it needs cleaning it looks like. |

Havnt decided if thats nice or ugly yet
BTW why doesnt bog-standard HTML work on here? The first post should work fine. ____________________ I love the girls that do, I hate the girls that dont, I hate the girls who say they will and then they say they wont, but the girl I like most of all and I think youll say Im right, is the girl who says she never has but looks as though she might. - Max Bygraves |

Sorry I took so long to get back....
Yeah, that html is supposed to auto resize the images, i've added a smaller one at the top now which wont kill your 56k'ers.
I love green Thats what swayed me to it.
Side panel was removed by yours truely... was having a look for the battery at the time and decided to have a break and take some pics.
Needs a mudguard at the back, 2 of the indicators are a bit faded so i might do that, lower exhaust needs adjusting out a bit (rubs against the swingarm) and a few little bits and pieces need adding (dust covers on the top of the front shocks, that round bit on the right fairing, etc. Also needs a GOOD cleaning, lots of crap on the rims, chain is covered in crap and its pretty dusty (summertime here - so much in the air)
I'm going to get the frame and engine rematched when I register it with some clever number swapping... or something like that. Guy I got the bike from is a recycler/dealer, said if I have any trouble he'd give me the stuffed engine

Looks better when your near it, and looks better than the original paint scheme IMO - www.kr250.org for examples
THANKYOU BARKER!!
Edit - I passed my test today too, register it tomorrow and get some insurance then im out on the roads! |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 19 years, 157 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
