I can take the rattiest rusted bike and bring it back from the dead .been riding for over forty years. I just seem to have a knack for it. I get alot of bikes from other people to detail alot. I have 2 passions bikes and quads. Keeps me out of trouble. Lolol
My trans mitter works great on both.check for buttons sticking happened with one of mine
That’s incredible! You got it for $500, albeit trashed. Any idea how much time & materials went in to create this beautiful green machine?
I bought it with 6000 miles on the motor it had been wrecked the guy it from was scared of it. Body work was mangled. Took me about 6 months to put it back together.. trying to find the body panels. Afriend of mine mom painted it ( she is 65 years old by the way) that took her 2 months. The frame and motor was fine so mostly cosmetic work. We took it to bike week in panama city and it constantly drew a crowd. Even magazine photographers were taking pics of it. Made me feel good..
The chopper is one i detailed after sitting for a year rusted up.. got it looking new again.. bikes and drones are my passion
I got it from a guy who wrecked it and was scared of it bodywork was mangled took along time trying to locate the bodywork apice here apiece there luckily the frame and motor was fine got it all put back together in about 6 months then my friends mom painted it she is 65 years old and a airbrush master. Took her 2 months to paint it. Then had alot of engine chrome work done another month finally got it finished took it to bike week in panama city everywhere I rode it it drew a crowd.

My sport bike makes 136 at the rear wheel .weight is 540 poundd that would be a fun race its 1127 cc.
You sound like me .lol.. I started with 2 stroke dirtbikes in early seventies my first bike was a ratty 1973 kawasaki enduro 100 cc even back then i took it apart and repainted it with spray cans and masking tape lol. Since then I've owned about 30 diff bikes I'm 55 now been riding for over 40 years. The day I kick started that 100 cc and it came to life some kind of switch cut on in my head and I've always had a bike.
What do u ride now? My favorite bike has got to be the green sportbike..that thing is a blast tons of power. But getting to old for the riding position on it.. lol
The 250 is a great starter bike .light easy to throw around around 35 hp.. if u feel real good about ur riding skills its time to move up..suzuki makes a gsf 500 sport bike great bike pretty fast for a 500..and looks great. My first bike was a 100 cc dirt bike.try to resist the urge to get a 600 or 1000 cc sport bike These bikes are rockets and most riders end up wrecking them.the 1127 cc green sport bike I have posted here is 136 hp. 0 to 60 is 2.8 seconds..does a 100 mph in second gear u can get in trouble real quick on this bike.the first time i rode it it scared the crap out of me. I tell people this all the time work ur way up to these high powered sport bikes.. ride safe my friend. And keep me posted ..
A 250 cc bike is great for around town but no good for highway or interstate. Top speed is only around 85 so when ur doing 65 to 70 bike is reaching its limits..a 250 is a starter bike.. after 2 years its time for u to move up.. before u blow up that 250 on the highway trying to keep up with traffic...spend a weekend detailing it make it look new again.. ask $2500 settle for $2000..and get u a 500 cc or a 750 cc.. .I will help u any way I can.. try trading it in alot of dealership have used bikes if u find one u like wait and I will tell u what to look for. I know all the tale tale signs of whether its been taken care of. .I'm usually on this forum twice aday..just out of curiosity how many miles are on it and have u ever laid it. Down?
