where are the lt's
the 250r lasted so long because the design proved itself on every race course and aftermarket got behind it because the demand (and $$$$) was there.
the LT had issues with the frame geometry from the beginning, they were great on a TT track and OK at XC. later years even had a great engine, but the demand for aftermarket parts never caught up with that of the honda... and thus, the LT has almost the same aftermarket parts available, but nowhere near as many makers... sometimes you have to research to find what you need. the demand continues to drop as they grow older... i'm not saying they were bad, they are very fast machines, i had a '91 LT that ripped & i had some sweet mods i'd done... but decided to move on to something different, i still love the 2-stroke power & zip.
