Had a great Weekend....Report 5 days late (Cleveland trip)
« on: April 24, 2009, 07:49:57 PM »
Dont have any worth while pictures.200 miles of flawless riding on the 400 though and put a few miles on in the woods with th XR. The Bandit averaged 38mpg. Twistys - backroads there....highway back. I just cant believe there isnt 100,000 of these things on the road. The American public sure missed the boat by not buying these Baby Bandits and other I-4 400's when they had the chance.

Paul,
Too cool! 92 or so vintage CR250-500 front end? I've got a complete 01 CR250's front end that will be fitted soon. Hope its worth the work. The existing front end on it now is dialed in pretty well.

Not sure the year, but yes, it's off a CR500.  The front brake & caliper is bigger, too.  The PO (I bought it from a friend @ work) was considering a Supermoto style conversion when he gave up on it and bought this KTM 525EXC with a SM kit:



Pretty sweet, but it cost him more than I paid for my B12 and what I gave him for the XR.  :trustme:
