    My last 2 stroke was a 2001 CR250R. It didn't run quite right when I bought it, so I rebuilt it from the crank up. That bike was a ripper. That motor was amazing. I could pull with my buddies new 06 crf450r till 5th gear.

    • @EarthSurferUSA

      @dealspeed6756 Před rokem +1

      @EarthSurferUSA oh true enough. He wasn't the most experienced rider at the time. I rode his bike right after he brought it home from the dealer. It was the first 450 I've rode and it was incredible. My 01 was a beast but that 450 was a monster. I later sold my 01 cr250 and bought a barely used 05 crf450r. I couldn't compete with the 450s at the track so I joined them.

      James, Their delivery person, always comes through well for them. I met him twice, having bought a streetbike and dirtbike from Ken. Best and most honest, delivery person, that you could have deliver your bike to you. All bikes are triple strapped, with thick blankets put over them, so they don't get scratched in transit. Lastly, James goes as far as to sleep in this motorcycle trailer, every night that he is one the road, so they don't have to worry about anybody breaking into it. James is a retired Marine, and Connecticut State Trooper. You have no worries if James delivers a bike to you. Take Care, Brother.

He brought you back some gorgeous bikes in this load. Loved that 1989 Honda CR 250. It was gorgeous, along with the other CR's. That shipment was a Motocross Lover's Dream.

    • @GT380man
      @GT380man Před rokem +1

      I’m in Nice & also saw great vintage bikes in a sea of super scooters which dominate. To be fair, the larger capacity especially Yamaha scooters look slick and they have strong motors.
      I also laid eyes on an early 2000s Yamaha FJR1300. They are absolutely slingshot bikes. A pal in England had one, very similar spec to some U.K. police forces use. I think 160 bhp. Also saw a nice 02 or 03 Suzuki GSX1400, twin pipes & white wheels. A real pair of modern classics. I have no idea on valuations. Bikes hold up well here as it has a very kind climate!
      Honestly, you can ride year round even if you’re a southern softie (man of Kent, me).
      I don’t see what I consider really old bikes here though. Not one 1970s stroker during a month long chill out, and just one 70s Kawasaki Z900.
      I still haven’t picked up a bike for Nice. Unlike in England, I don’t know anyone out here into bikes. Wife isn’t mad keen on riding but she’ll come if it’s a social thing and my pals are often with their wives. They’re actually the most enjoyable rides and meetings now we’re appreciably older. Only a couple of the guys still doing track days in their 60s, but we’re sensible enough on roads to be accompanied. Evenings are such a laugh. The ladies moderate the daft excesses we would get into when it was just the lads.
      Out here in Nice, I’m so tempted but for several reasons I might end up with a Yamaha 650 twin super scooter. Very good for pillions, room for a bit of luggage and decent wind protection if you want it. They lack the romance of a “proper” bike, but they’re really low maintenance and so commonplace that I wouldn’t be concerned about theft or vandalism. I’ve no garage though secure parking we’ve got.
      Great to be back in England and out on the Suzuki triples once again!! We’ll move back & forth between the two places for so long as we’re permitted by the WHO & WEF.
