Looking forward to seeing them finished Kris. The 3MA TZR is my favourite 250 along with the MC18 NSR. Such a pretty bike.

Last night I talked to my brother about 2-strokers....and he is also into this idea. Who knows what this might lead to... The only thing that puts me a bit off it the amount of work/rebuilds and also money that goes in such bike. What sort of budget is sort of required with the general maintenance of 250's 2-strokes...?
Hi Jas.
Crank rebuilds are pretty pricey but everything else isn't bad at all. But it really depends what you spend initally on a bike. If you buy a project to get it looking really nice you will probably spend as much as buying a mint bike in the Long run . The only advantage of buying a project is you know its all done properly and you get to know the way the bike works! Downside is it's very time consuming!
