Last week sunday I picked up this gem. Its a 1980 Honda xl250s, It has 4300 miles on it and the previous owner put a supertrapp muffler on it so it sounds real nice.



So heres what I have done so far; the turn signals didnt work so I did some investigating and the culprate was a severed ground wire in the main harness, None of the lights worked (neutral light, high beam light, and turn sig light) so i replaced the bulbs and vuala i have lights. It had no air filter so I mad a custom one since none were available at the local dealership, retuned the carb to deal with the new filter. It needs tires so i ordered some up.

Sorry for the novel but I just love this bike, its already saving me money on gas and it still works off road. which is good cause I love crusing the woods, and it will do 75mph so I can ride it on the highway.

 

Man I've wanted an On/Off Road bike for a while now.

 

Cool, so now you can trek way off the map in the truck and continue on the bike when things get tight.

 

pterry much lol, but for now im saving money on gas and saving it for the truck. I just love riding this thing its so fun

 

nice bike i do some off roading with an atv but i never had a bike like that =)

any ways enjoy and be safe there could be some crazy drivers out there

 

I always am, and I have already had close calls with them lol

 

Oredered my tires, it now has a right mirror, and I replaced the crappy filiment bulb for a 9004 55 watt hi/low halogen bulb. I can finaly see at night

my carry all pouch



new bulb


105 miles on 1.5 gallons of premium gas (70mpg), it has a 2.5 gal tank so i have some sweet range.

And yes i know the back tire is gone, A new one is on its way( was shipped friday)

 

thats real nice. i have a 74 xl250 and i wouldnt trade it for the world. paid 200 for it and have been beating on it ever since. its not near as nice as yours though.

 

When i get my tires put on, its going to get a beating on the trails lol
