the v-retro (raptor) 250's first (legal) day on the road

Be careful. You're riding on the wrong side of the road.

Sorry, just kidding. Very nice pics, i like your bike!

wrong side of the road and upside down!
in the land downunder

Weldangrind · 07-22-2013, 01:16 AM

I really like that bike. Any mods planned for it?

overlander · 07-22-2013, 03:19 AM

I may put a new exhaust on it to give it a beefier note and let a bit more flow through. My brother has a spare muffler for his R1, which has had the baffle removed.

great bike, looks good in black, too. i used to live in brunswick, and spent much time on sydney road. williamstown rings a few pleasant bells, though. safe riding!

took the bike for an extensive ride around Ararat (country town) today. Took it out on the highway but only to around 80kms. It is great fun around town, only weights 125 kg's so easy to throw around. Get's a few looks and comments, people don't know what it is. I've been looking at some mods on the original suzuki van van, they look great stripped back, nice looking flat tracker appearance.

If I was to get it lookin spec I would :

remove white fenders

jack up the rear end

put a meatier exhaust on it

maybe a fat 180' front tire like the rear

thinner seat

Pliskin · 07-22-2013, 06:24 PM

I would suggest a safety vest of some sort if you are going to ride a lot in the city, not sure how busy traffic is over there. Good idea with exhaust. Thanks for posting pics. Your Black Wombat looks very happy.

So technically seen your bike has a upsidedown fork..

overlander · 07-28-2013, 04:19 AM

It's running well Trailbikeryder. Had it up to 80 on the highway. A good fun bike to ride around town. I will do a video when I get some time

Been doing a bit of bush bashing on the skyteam 250

The fat tires handle the rough very well and so far no punctures going offtrack and riding over broken tree branches etc

I find the first gear a little high for steep up hill trails, just have to give it some juice!

Since adding the air pod filter and new flow thru muffler I now get a top speed of 100kmh, up from 85kmh...a 17% increase. But at 100 she squeals like a slaughterhouse pig and trembles like a drunk in detox!
