Dan from Central Il checking in. Aging semi old fart. Bought my first bike new in '72 (still have it) and have been at it ever since. I have mainly been building and tuning race/track/sportbikes for many years. I am an old two smoker and Kawi triples and Yami RD's have always been my bag.
But, the last smoker dirt bike I owned had 4" of suspension travel and Jimmy Carter was president. That CR250M nearly killed me many times so I moved to the safety of excessive speed on the street and track
Haven't had a smoker down to the frame lately so I grabbed this '95 200 over the winter as a gift for my oldest. Decent shape, good price and has a few nice farkles. It's stripped now and being gone through. It should make him a nice ride. No big surprises thus far, just the usual ill maintained items and prior owner stupidity. Thanks for the resource, answered many questions perusing the forum.

Him doing a very poor Team Green thumbs up on purchase day
