Java is on a distinguished road
Was on Craig's List today and found a 97 XR250 for $1650 and a 02 XR400 for just over $2K.

Since my daughter wants to move out at the end of the school year, I will only have about 9 months to ride with her so I may pick up one of these if they are still available.

My son has no interest in riding and neither does my wife so unless I find others in the Austin area to ride with, I may end up selling it in a year or so.

Guess we will see what happens.

Came across this and found this very intersting..

Write Up:
Calling Patman ref XR284 - Dirt Rider . Net, Dirt Bikes - Motocross - Off-Road - Supercross

Pics:
Patman-TX - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

He is asking 3K which is slightly higher than I had wanted to go, but given all the work and improvements, seems worth it.

Thoughts?

Regards,
Jay

given the amount of time that went into creating this thing, It just may be worth it!

I took it for a test ride, and it feels nice and punchy with good throttle response.

Feels a little heavy, but it's not an MX bike so I guess it is to be expected. It is a beautiful bike. I am not after raw top end speed but more punch in the saddle out of the hole.

Not yet. Told him I was interested, but that it would take me a week or so to get the money together.
