Let’s not go through this again… You know why I chose the Honda XR 250 S for the third time in a row! If you don’t know the reason, then you can read the previous posts. Of course, these models are now over 25 years old, so rebuilding them is getting harder and harder. The XRs 250 that are available are often in a bad condition and finding spare parts can be a daunting task. Thankfully, with the right partners, the work was done properly! Why Not Cycles rebuilt the motorcycle’s rusty frame, strengthened it and modified it, which resulted in the best XR I’ve ever had! 3P Racing has an incredible range of spare parts, even for the XR, while Honda Davanopoulos supplied us with the original spare parts that we needed. eXTra Products once again undertook the rebuilding of the weathered suspensions and provides us with the XR consumables, while Kournoutis’ engineering shop in Larisa took over the engine overhaul. All the mechanical work was done by the experienced Dimitris Katigiannis in his NRG Motoaction repair shop.

He shall be known as Cactakis!
