Is it THIS bike? I rode it before when it was Doms. I saw it for sale locally. If I didn't already have a couple of 150F's, and just got a 150R-- I may have snagged it myself. Why did ya sell the 150F if you don't mind me askin'? Heavy? I've loved mine since the first time I ever rode it, and I usually do pretty well in the pit bike races on it w/o dumping alotta cash into it. Good luck with the new bike Brit. --L*64

OK-- I get it. The F is a really heavy bike, but I swear that you don't notice the weight when you're riding or racing it.



I just got a 150R this week. I'd bet that you'd love it. It feels alot smaller and lighter than the 150F. I'm kinda wondering if you could tame the beast down with a milder cam, and a couple mm thick base gasket, and a flywheel weight. My GF loves the bike-- but she rode it around a little, and the power scares her. (She didn't actually even get into the power either). Adam has GOT to start doing 150R/F conversions.... That would be a great bike.



I saw your bike for sale by me, and I thought it was Doms' old bike. Now that I think about it-- Dom parted his bike out. My bud still has the shock and back wheel from it. --L*64

Yep. The guy who you sold the exhuast to has it sitting around b/c he was going to do his own DRZ up. He ended up selling it and getting a 150F. He has Doms shock too. I know he wants to sell it. Either call him, or I'll talk to him about it this week. --L*64

Will do.



BTW-- ya missed out on alotta fun at the Briarcliff pit bike races this summer. Not too far from ya (Nashport, Ohio), and they had a womens' "Dash for Diamonds" race. They were giving away Lia Sophia jewely to the winner. My GF raced yesterday, but she got smashed b/c the chicky that she had to race against was on a really fast bike, and my chicky was on a showroom stock 110. Ya shoulda been there. Ya prolly could have won it. --L*64

Took her out on a lil ride yesterday... Absolutely loved it! Felt extremely comfortable on it! I am selling off the exhaust though and just bought a new pro circuit one. And already getting new graphics! Def putting in the stock fork springs compared to the bbr springs that are in them now. Might switch out the cams in the engine. The one in there no is from a lt230 or something. Might put in a hotcams to keep the performance equal to the 150 kit and 26 carb.
