Well I am more than willing to take you on. As the game show said...Come on Down!
I will go get hte ol 4 stroker out of the shop outback and dust it off some for your 250r...Now you said you don't have to put 10k in one to keep up with any 4 stroke so we are going to do this at a drag strip. Also lets put some cash on this...

Bigtwin, you are a little out of touch with reality, you could buy an r in great condition for $4000, throw a 310 on it ($950.00) or a power vavle 310 ($1500), a good pipe and silencer ($320) and a K&N ($30) and you are very competitive with all the new bikes everywhere, on the mx track, at the drag strip, or in the trails.
That is nowhere near the $10, 000 you are talking about, hell it is almost half.

Make it an 85' ATC250R...
Less weight = faster ride! Get with it guys - 3 wheels rock! And you sorry a$$e$ that say they are illegal, or hard to ride or whatever - keep that $hit to yourself - your just too pu$$y to handle it. It's too bad that the three-wheelers got such a bad rap.. Damn enviornmentalists (just for closing down riding areas), damn barbara walters (for helping the 10-year ban on the sale) , damn lawyers 9for bein' too damn greedy!
That bout' sums it up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Bigtwin, how fast have you taken the v700? I'm asking because your original statement was that it would take $10, 000 to keep up with the current bigbore 4 strokes. I haven't raced a V700 but what is the top end on it?
I'm sure there are faster machines than my R out there but with the $3000 I originally brought the bike for and the $1500 I've spent on the engine upgrades it does pretty good against the new big bore bikes. That's a far cry from $10, 000. I did quite a bit of paved drags this weekend with some members from this board (all moded big bore bikes) and I did pretty good.
