At the end of the day, it’s about keeping these legends alive and on the track. Sometimes a little twist on the original just makes it even better. Glad you get it
That sounds incredible! The 1993 CR250R is such a classic, and a Jett Lawrence tribute is the perfect way to bring it back to life with some modern flair. Would love to see how it turned out-those details must be on point! What was your favorite part of the build? 👌🔥
I had 94 cr 250 and that's one of the best rebuilds I've seen and it was one of the best bikes I owned too .I raced in the UK in the 90s great job lads
Nice bike, I’ve got one I restored myself and your right in every aspect of the build regarding compromise when it comes to parts availability, time frame and budget.
Thanks, mate! It’s definitely a balancing act, isn’t it? Parts, time, and budget-always gotta compromise somewhere. Would love to see how yours turned out! 🔧🏁
@@garageeleven unfortunately you can’t load pics here in comments. I started with a very low hour 1 owner bike, paid a lot for it. Still got the original airbox that’s white, used the VMX racing tank and your spot in there, great alternative to the Cla&$e tanks that have moulding defects. The linkage had a crack so I ended up replacing them with Phil Denton Engineering billet ones, the forks are mint, anodising perfect and still has the original shower chrome decal on them. I used a Throttle Jockey seat cover, not fussed with the colour, it’s a bit different to the OEM and plastics but is passable in the right light, I know that the one you used is better colour wise from JP in the UK. I scored an OEM stator cover and chain guard, UFO plastics are the only way to go for fit colour and finish. Pretty much did exactly the same as you on all parts, hours on the swingarm sanding etc, re did the zink coating on all the axles and some nuts and bolts but found the spec bolt kits from the U.S. to be a great help, they aren’t perfect but for the price you can use 90% of it and it looks very close to OEM. Used MTX disks because they look exactly like OEM and are pretty affordable, I went with braided Moto master lines though and put gold valves in front and back in case I decide to ride it one day, prob is it looks so good I’m now scared to 😂.
@@SuperEVOmx Sounds like an incredible build, mate! You’ve really gone the extra mile with all those details-respect! The VMX tank is definitely a solid choice, and I totally get what you mean about the Throttle Jockey seat cover. Sometimes the little color differences are the hardest to get right. And those Phil Denton billet linkages? Nice touch! You’ve got a real showpiece on your hands, especially with all the zinc plating and careful part selections. I know the feeling about being hesitant to ride it now-it’s like having a piece of art in the garage! Maybe just a gentle cruise around the block, yeah? 😎👌
@@SuperEVOmx Thanks, mate! Couldn't agree more-there's just something special about those '92-'94 CRs. They're timeless machines that still turn heads. Appreciate the support! 👊🔥
Love your work guys. I am excited for new content and have a 96 cr250 project bike that I’m having a hard time getting new fuel tank and nuclear red fork protectors. And advice on where to get em would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Rob
Hey Rob, Thanks for the feedback, the 96 sounds like its going to be a good thing, We use UFO fork guards and a company called VMX plastics for our tanks
Really nice bike with allot of attention to detail. I'am restoring 2 CR 250's from 1994 myself at the moment, I think it's the best looking bike from Honda from the 90's. Was planning of ordering a Throttle Jockey seatcover but wenn I saw yours it looks even better to OEM. May I ask from witch company I can order these? Greetings from the Netherlands
Thanks a ton! The 1994 CR250 is a true gem-Honda really nailed it with that design. Sounds like you’ve got some awesome projects in the works! 😎 For the seat cover, we went with one from rjp-motorcycles-ltd. It’s a great option if you’re after that OEM look. Can’t wait to see how your CR250s turn out-they’re going to look incredible!
@@garageeleven Honda 100% nailed it with that design, remebered I was a 15 year old kid and saw 2 brandnew of these CR 1994's on the track, very good memories!
Thank you! 🙌 Every bike has its own charm, but it's always awesome to hear when someone appreciates the work we put in. Suzuki or not, we aim to make them all look slick and perform even better. What’s your favorite model? Maybe it’s time to give it some love too! 💯🔥
@@garageelevenhell yea !!! Haha na I’d have one of every colour in the shed if I could. I have a 89 rm125 and 90 rm250 I race vmx on here in nz. Nothing beats racing old dirt bike with your friends !!!!
“Yea it’s not original.. get over it” 😂 spot on, at least it’s available 👌🏻

Great job mate keep it up
This thing looks great! I just did up my 1993 CR250R as a Jett Lawrence tribute...

@@garageelevenshoot me your email and I’ll send some pictures! Are you asking the favorite part of your 1994 build or my 1993? Keep up the good work…
One of the best 94"
Un trabajo increíble, mis felicitaciones

Where do you source the bikes from in the US? Craigslist?

In 1994 you either rode a Honda or you were choking on dust on the track and getting zero pussy off the track 😂
