Craigslist and other deals

Phew, I'm not right about everything either, so it's good to hear I am amongst other fallible folk.

As for pics, I'll never tune down an invitation to waste time at work googling and looking at motorcycle pics!

Here's a neat page that shows the evolution of the Suzuki RM 250:

You see the transition really start in 1982 when the 250 went liquid-cooled and the suspension travel started to get really long compared to the twin shock era. By 1984, the seat was overlapping the tank and the bike had really taken on the look that characterized dirtbikes for the next decade or more.

This page shows Honda's evolution, which seems to be about a year ahead of Suzuki:

This page has them all.  Here's Kawasaki: http://vintagemx.com.au/kawasaki-kx250-models

Ohlins rear shock for hooped monsters on eBay $599 OBO (no relation to seller, IDGAF. but these are a bit hard to come by so I figured I would share).

[zooom]

I do know that seller and he is


I think the price is a lil on the steep side, but you are right, THAT shock is a lil harder to come by, and moreso with that mounting plate for the reservoir.

I emailed him about it FOUR YEARS AGO and he still won't budge on the price.

Well with inflation.. the price has (sorta) gone down

That pretty gold anodizing takes a beating in that location.  Specially with no rear fender.
