Featured here is a 1982 Kawasaki SR250 which was provided by Mark Hilderbrand of
Night-mare Racing (http://www.nightmare-racing.com/). Mark has been in the vintage
motocross business for many years. The past ten years he has been collecting and restoring
has a very impressive collection. This is the second bike Mark has provided us an
opportunity to showcase.
If you are restoring a Kawasaki and are in need of quality reproduction plastics, graphics or
advice on what is right or wrong with your restoration, Night-mare Racing is the place to go!
Mark says he has had the opportunity to meet some very special friends along the way and
we here at VintageWorksBikes are glad to have the opportunity to share another one of his
very rare bikes!
This bike was first raced in the first few Supercross races of 1983 though it's actually a 1982,
single radiator version. It was raced by Kent Howerton during the Supercross series. Jeff
Ward raced a twin radiator version that year.
Sand cast motor, aluminum gas tank, hand made forks, works KYB suspension and a handmade tapered swingarm that is super light,
yet very strong. Very trick works bike!
They don't get much nicer than this. The Kawasaki SR's were very light and very fast.
