Hi all!
i'm Sebastian from Argentina, another lover of the bikes since I Have use of reason.
At present I have a Honda VF750C 83, Honda Tornado (XR250 Brazil) and the newcomer MVX250F, but years ago I always had two-strokes bikes (Kawasaki GTO110 and Jawa TS350 among other national made 50cc bikes) and the mvx simply left me speechless in quality and power. The problem is that the bikes in this country are the most handled the unskilled owners or mechanics and this bike regrettably follow the same destiny.
For example, at some point in ther lives someone bridge the two front exhaust outlets with a pipe and modified the two silencers to make it as in a twin four stroke.
I also had to pull out the engine to weld the frame because they forgot to put a hub or something on the bottom screw and when tightened it broke in two points.
The list goes on but slowly I regain the bike.








Greetings from Buenos Aires and scuse my poor english.

Hope you enjoy your new toy - it looks great from here! I can't believe there's ANOTHER MVX on here now - they're almost as common as RG250s!! Shocked Laughing

Thanks to all for the welcome!! Very Happy

Now I disassemble the cylinders for a compression leak and I found some new surprises, new adapted front pistons and the rear original with big clearance. I had to change the rear piston and I'm crossing my country to see who can forge to me.
