This is my baby. It isn't holding up well cause it has been sitting for almost thirty years in my grandpas shed. The only thing that is holding up is the engine. Everything else is falling apart or breaking. I took it over as a project about a year ago and got it running and got new tabs and a new license plate. It still has a long way to go before it is "perfect" but who cares, it is so fun it doesn't matter.

I want a bike but I won't get one. Not down with the extra cost or the prospect of a dramatically increased chance of death. I wish I had the balls to do it but I know multiple people who have died or nearly died on bikes even when they did nothing wrong and i just can't keep that shit out of my head. I respect bikers so much though because they all realize that risk but do it anyway because they love it so much. Props to yall

yea, that was me for a while. but i was able to get a small loan, super low interest rate, and 100 bucks a month. and a good price on insurance.. so i went for it.

that, and i can ride year round since i'm in california, so it definitely makes it worth it. minnesota you get like 4 months of riding. ha

I sold my 08 200xc, and still had to drop about 3k on it. It was so worth it though. I love it.

I don't ride anymore, but this was my bike back in the day when I was like 13ish

2003 yz85 with vforce reed valve, FMF Powercore 2, Black Pro Wheel rims.

I re-did the top end and the wheelset myself. The first ride after putting a new mod on and feeling the extra power or getting complimented on the looks of the bike made all the lawns I mowed so worth it. I definitely had the coolest bike in my whole school /claim

I have since sold it and am now more into mountain biking.

2005 Yamaha r6 raven edition. This is my baby. Had her for about 2 years now and put close to 10k on the OD. I ride this girl everywhere. Been tearing up the roads of europe and have never been so happy in my life. This bike is the tits, and I can say I will always be a Yamaha guy after this sweetheart came into my life.

i've always wanted an r6. black with red highlights. they have the sickest front end fairings/headlights. and if you get hid's in them, they're even sexier.

but i had to get what i could afford at the moment..

It's not mine strictly speaking, it's my Grandad's. I go over to his house every couple of weeks and ride it around the village he lives in to keep as he can't operate the kickstart anymore.

It was the enduro.

(Just a hint, XC is cross country, or the enduro and the SX is the supercross version)

I was going to build it into a bober styled bike like orangecrush23 posted...more like the second of the two bikes he posted....then a certain ex gf got jealous of my new gf and said i tried to kill he and i had to sell the bike and pay my lawyer to keep me from going to jail for bullshit charges. Was a sad day i had just cut the rear of the frame and welded on a stretched and dropped new section :(

Hahah it took me a bit to realize it. I kinda miss my xc though. It was soo much better for trail riding because it didn't have as much of a hit. I love the 250sx though. It's still good for trails and enduros and it rips shit up on the track.

My Grandad's one is in a much better condition.

Recently one sold at auction over here for £150,000 ($225,337 US) in a far worse condition and a later version. Just to put it into perspective.
