I’d been thinking about getting out from behind my laptop and back into the garage for a while. I never had a ’90 KX250 (I raced Hondas back then), but something about this space-age-for-its-time machine has always intrigued me. When this bike originally came out, it looked like nothing else out there, so I wanted to see what I could do with one. With a bit of work and some help from the following companies, here’s what we came up with.
