Every time I check, something else is putting off the release of the HX-250r. I may be too old to ride if this keeps up.

So, in the mean time, I cooked up something to get me by. Mostly EX250, and part Suzuki.

For fun, play "spot the mods". I'll start with the hidden part, the '05 GSXR-1000 shock, and add that it stops really really well.

You took care of the important parts, now just ditch all that plastic via dremel, and any passenger pegs, and misc.stock stuff to be replaced with lighter and better and cheaper aftermarket stuff and enjoy!!! Your almost there!!!!

An EX looks FUGLY naked unless you resection the subframe. I'll leave that be. If I do anything else to it besides freshening up the paint, it will be a new Corbin seat.

I'm gonna ride it to Daytona Saturday for the races.

I think I will keep it regardless. I put a lot of myself into it, and it is a great bike.

My old 88 Ninja was one of my most favorite bikes... I am a big fan of Kawasaki machines

Nice 600, Pwnzor. The brand that brought the genre to the street.

I am currently on a Versys, and have had a Concours, and a 500R, and an old KZ440. I do love me some Kawasakis too.

I had an '88 GPZ550 before that... unfortunately I don't have a picture of it.

I love my current bike, '06 Z1000.

Saw a couple of those on Fleabay a few days ago, whilst scanning for pre-'90's bikes...

I prolly shouldn't do that! ; )

Funny you would start this thread. I have been hankering for another KLR250 or XT350 to beat on.

No time/money though.

I rode it to Daytona and back for the 200 on Saturday. I decided my old back needs a friendlier set of bars for those longer rides.

I'm gonna play with a different setup next week. With the stock front end I ran the stock bars with Soupy's risers for a more upright position. Gonna try some 50mm risers and some low superbike bars.

ugh... I misspoke before.

The Ninja is the picture was an '88.

The GPz was an '84.

Carry on.
