man, that color combo is sweet, IMO though, little blue things all over (just a few) would make it look better, like andonized blue oil filler cap, maybe a hinson cover, shifter, and parking brake BO, thats JMO though

My thoughts..

Very nice. I haven't seen many blue/red R's that I like, but I like that. Before you buy a new seatcover, try to get that one stretched. I think that seatcover makes it look really good. If you can get the wrinkles out and shine it up a little it will set the quad apart from all the other ones you see today.

Actually, I like everything about that color scheme.:macho

Hey methyman, it really is a small world. I was about to buy that bike a couple months back. I saw it in the cycletrader, called the guy and then a few days later it was sold. LoL. Its all good tho because now i ride a Z. How much did you get it off that guy for? I thought it was a goo deal at the price that it was at, i just cant remember the price now. Well it seems like you did a real nice job on it. Take a look at my site, im a little south of you (miami): http://www.geocities.com/ranchertype1/Rancher.html?1016585314430

The bike actually belonged to a very close friend of mine (Mike). I moved over from Fort Lauderdale to Fort Myers and got the bike for cheaper then he was selling in the Cycle Trader. He had bought a white Z400 and thats how I got the bike from him. I knew once he went 4Stroke he wouldn't want to hold on to the TRX250R any more. I MX it at Immokalee Track and trail ride it alot also.
