Hi guys I am a newbie but been watching for some time.
You know the worst part about this post is it reminds me that I had a Beautiful RL 250 road registered and used it as a commuter to work (a couple of ks) and to go bush riding on week ends and it was mint!!
I had to sell it as I didnt have storage when I built a new home and I needed the money.
Did the right thing and sold it to a mate and had first option to buy it back when he had enough.
When that time came I was still broke and it sold overnight that was 17 years ago and still kick my self.
It was similar to the photo above and I dont even have a old photo of my own.

Now I have a 81 Montesa that I am doing up and riding in SE Queensland and loving it.
But its still not my old suzie.
Maybe one day !!

That was silly then ay. I know how you feel. I sold my 96 DT200 that I loved. I bought a new YZ250WR that was no way as good as the DT. I found the DT on bikepoint two weeks ago in QLD. It's a hunk-a-junk now and when I sold it, it was unreal.
Now I have a Firestorm that accellerates as fast as the DT and I am happy with that.

worry? Is it bad? Am i going to be ok? Am I sick? It's my brother isn't it? Is he dead? Is that it? That would be terrible because I don't even have a brother. How bad would it be to get a brother and to lose him all in the same day?!

I think its amazing that there is any Honda that can keep up with a DT200, whatever sort of a storm it is

Ha ha ha I must admit, it would be nice if I could put a nice expansion chamber and two stage reeds on the storm. Remove about 200kg and throw some knoblies on because is it a dog through the bush and the scramble track.
Imagine a two stroke 1000cc v-twin. just imagine that. Oh yeah.
