One of my favourite bikes* is my KX250 -1993, completely custom built from new with Chromed frame, Factory Connection Suspension, Pro Circuit tuned engine and exhaust, Ohlins / Scott steering damper and more hop-up stuff .
Had previously raced with Honda CR250-1992 + 1993 and both were designed to win Supercross championships with, not high speed European outdoor MX tracks where stability and forgiving suspension are much more useful ( IMO) than snappy power and razor-sharp handling (with headshake) the Ohlins steering damper was traded over from the CR's who needed them BAD. I test rode a friends 93-KX250 and was several seconds faster a lap, next day I went to the Kawasaki dealer.
The picture is taken on the first test ride straight out of the garage , and you could see how eager I was to ride it and get the Racing season on
* This bike took me to the best position ever in the Swedish / State B-Nationals, but was also the bike that really ended me participating in competitive Racing as I had lent out my race bike YZ400F ( 1998) to a Former Pro-Racer friend ( who never had Raced a 4-stroke) at a Local MX fun race and took out and dusted off my KX250 from retirement. We checked it over and all was good during practice but during the Race the throttle stuck at WFO ( probably some shit in the Carb ) and I flew way off the track, game over.
Did a number of surgeries and many years of rehab to be able to walk decently again but I'm happy to be able to ride even though it's in "snail pace"
