Any of you guys ever have one of these ?
My good buddy had an 84 air cooled, then an 86. I had it most of the time, we would always trade, he wanted to ride my xl 250 on the road, and I liked being in the woods .
They were pretty fast and scary for the time .
We used to jump on the turnpike and ride about 3 miles to one of our riding spots, and I remember being able to keep up with traffic .
Somehow, I never killed myself .
I bought a cherry 1986 later on , but sold all my toys when I bought my building .
I sometimes think about getting another. Makes quads seem boring. I thought they were the coolest thing on the planet when the liquid cooled ones came out. I was 15

Yamaha later came out with the Tri Z 250, and Kawasaki also came out with something to compete .
What fun times to be a kid .
