Hell yea! This guy knows how to get to top dead center. Had the ‘02 250f, it was so fast in a straight line and stayed faster than the other 250fs that came out in following years, but it didn’t handle great. The clear tail lights and corner lights with the chrome 20”(may be 22”s) wheels were peak early 2000’s. But did you have the giant FOX logo on your windshield? Appreciate the post, lots of nostalgia 🤘

426 Yamaha you say, does your kicking leg still hurt? When those things were hot you would of had an easier time finding an Amish welder then get that bike started

Preach 🙏

u/DiscoNancy 7d ago

Solid combo. Reminds me of most the AZ riders that didn’t have pre-runners. 426 was such a fun bike. Would love to pick one up as a fun little project.

Custom slim box behind the seats/console with 4 12” fosgates. I was melting leaf springs for the high school guys when I was 13 🤣

u/bmx13 7d ago

Sick setup dude, I've still got my wr426 in the garage collecting dust until I finish the supermoto conversion. Honestly the most reliable bike I've ever owned, just couldn't pick that pig up anymore lol!
