Good day everybody, A while ago  (about a year and a half ago)I bought a 1982 XR 200R with the plan to do a restoration of the bike. The bike is fairly original and it was in a running condition when I bought it. I've started to try and revive the the plastics (they were spray painted and started to peel) in the time since I've bought the bike. Last night I've decided to clean the carburetor and the bike fired up on the first kick.

Now I'm even more "amped" to start this rebuild and to try and restore this little red monster to it's original and former glory.

The bike is mostly original, except for the original sidestand and the heat shield on the exhaust that are missing. So if any of you have these items lying around somewhere and have no use for it and are willing to part with it, then please send me a PM  :ricky:

Here are some photo's of the bike. You will also see that the bike are roadworthy and are registered.
