Looks way less shinny then when I saw it but I still like it.

 

[Macca8530]

[chillywilly]

nice, so i take it your not buying my bike then.

 

[Macca8530]

haa nah sorry mate

 

[mitchy_poo]

Mate nice looking ride, im really liking it i still like my 08 250 but they have to up the level of new paint schemes and what not.

 

[1992whitey1992]

that is heaps nice mate

 

[mlsred]

these things are awesome they feel like a custom built not a stock bike im thinking of buying one have fun on it they ride awesome

 

[A-shadow]

Yeah i was seriously contemplating buying this bike, but then i saw the 08 model and i had to get it instead. I reckon chrome frame is bad, and yeah grey tires are like wtf?? Plus this was about 500 more than the 08.

On a positive note, spokes look pimp as in real life.

 

[poppa_johns]

Still aint a bmx.. haha nah guess its alright see how long till you convert over. Ride it hard bro.

I have a 08 250 and fark i can imagine how nice this would feel, but i have to say the colour scheme is killing me, not the chrome frame, but the red bars?
nice ride.

 

[mossmanguru]

That is such a sweet ride. Love how they decked it out with sweet parts to this year. They will sell out so quick. Ride hard mate macca, looks more impressive then our cowan eh!

[Macca8530]

thanks for the good replys guys, yeah 250 feels way better than cowan, easier to ride street

The paint looks shit house i reckon, (no offense just my opinion) i think they should sack the painters at norco and get some new ones.

 

[Macca8530]

yeah i was abit skeptical of the paintjob, mainly the frame being chrome. does anyone know if it will peel like the chrome "mtx" wheels? hopefully it wont

 

[mlsred]

well firstly its not paint its chrome and all chrome will peel if its not treated properly, i do think it looks alot better in the flesh than in pictures, im seriously thinking about buying one but custom paint all the red parts green and get some green halo twin rails like what was on my old bike before it was stolen

 

[Steepy]

the colour scheme is killing me, not the chrome frame, but the red bars?
nice ride.

Shit yeah! I reckon the rest of the bike looks sweet as but the cockpit area is just red overload! Swap out those red bars for some black ones and it'll look heaps better IMO.

 

[ryandeangelis]

[dan_downhill_moto]

have fun on it!
