OK, what's this about? It looks nothing like the XTR 250 photos... :lol:

LOL is that a record for a hijack attempt?

I would like to be taking pictures of an SUV250....as I customize it!

But for now I just have to be satisfied with the XP....

I have 400km on it, its only May and we have had some rain.....notice the flowers!

Bike looks real sharp!

Thanks for sharing the photos.

Thank YoU

I charged the battery on my outdated Nikon Coolpix995 and bought a new battery on Amazon....for $12.00 :D The battery works but has trouble holding a charge for long.

I have not used it in a while....thought the grounds looked good with everything blooming, thought might as well take some photos of the bike as well.

If I pull out the tripod I get real good with the camera, it can be opened up the apeture that is and can capture a reflection on a drop of water.

The camera has a macro feature that allows zooming with clarilty up to 2 inches. I used to raise tropical fish and sold them online for a while. If the apeture is opened up the camera captures details better, but cannot be moved while open or it blures, the tripod stabilizes it.

The 995 is an old digital SLR, an early version but still very very good. Big and clunky but sold for $800.00 new, I got mine used, they sell for nothing these days and a real good cheap camera. You can switch lens on the camera...like a 35mm, thats what makes it an SLR, or comparable to a digital SLR. It has or simulates the features of a 35mm camera.

I used it on auto mode for these, but tinkering with it, it has the ablity to take seriously outstanding photos.

Thank you for posting the nice photos, Oengus! :) You have now dispelled all the rumors circulating about that you did not actually own an XP200! 8O :lol:

Spud :)

Beautiful bike!

All nice and shiney and new, the way mine was.

I fixed that!

Good photography too!

:lol:

:roll:

its actually got road dust all over it....but it will get some dirt on it this summer I assure you.... :wink:

That's a nice machine. I really like the muffler; that cone shape is apparently the best for high rpm power production. How does it sound?

It's very quite, it has some decal on the bike that states its below the decibel standards limit set by the government? People make comments about how quite the bike is.

It does not sound throaty or anything that I personally prefer.... :lol:

There is a performance exhaust you can get for the bike, I have seen all kinds of postings on the net for it, but it to me does not look as good as the stock exhaust. Its stainless steel, the after market that is, it does not look as good to me. But they say that and changing the jets on the Mikuni carb opens the engine up more?

That and changing the sprocket gain high end....

Things I may eventually do..after I have had it for a while.

It is a decent bike, so far.

Thanks

I took a road trip today…only locally and took the camera along, nothing professional though.

I passed 500km on the odometer…
