Came across a Craigslist deal I couldn't refuse. A 2007 Baja Motorsports Phoenix motorcycle. Been sitting in this gal's garage for the last three years or so. Only had 161 miles on it. She said her boyfriend could get it to fire with starting fluid but it wouldn't run. $300.00 and it was all mine. 
They had put a new battery in it so all I did was charge it up, clean the carb, fill with new gas and changed the oil. Fired right up. I'm going to take the carb off and clean it again as it doesn't want to idle without a little choke on. Even with that it is running strong.
It has the cloned Honda 234cc parallel twin and the body is a clone of the Suzuki GZ250. I was surprised at how well it rides. At 60 indicated it feels so much more stable than either my 150 or 250 scooter. At 50 the speedometer is only off by 3 MPH. (50 indicated = 47 actual)
These pictures were taken on my inaugural ride, taking advantage of the last of the sunshine up here before the rain sets in for the year.
