An adept description of the KR
"...A period road test suggested: “It’s happiest between 8000 and 10,500rpm. When the engine hits eight grand at full throttle in first gear, the front wheel claws for the sky while the KR leaps forward…”
And this is where the trouble really begins. It was a ratbag bike designed by ratbags for ratbags. So it rarely saw much below redline on the tacho and didn’t take at all kindly to long-term, flat-out riding. It’s a great machine to own if you’re an enthusiastic two-stroke mechanic and a right bugger if you just want to ride it. (Note: If you want to see the world’s most fluoro website, visit the UK owner group at www.kr250.org.)"
Or this sort scheme
So, here's a BRAND NEW KR, still in its shipping box, owned by a motorcycle dealer near me. Have a guess how many offers of purchase he's had for it???
