    Sold Honda XR250 Tornado (KZN) R31000

    Hi guys. Very reluctantly selling my faithful Tornado because I need money towards a car, and also last year I bought a Triumph RS955i which I am riding far more than the little Tornado, and now I just can't afford to keep two bikes. Thankfully I don't need to commute (I work from home online)...

    What battery for Tornado 250?

    Hi chaps, what battery does a Tornado 250 use? I'm in the UK but my Tornado is in SA, so I can't physically check it myself yet, and I want to order a battery online before I get back. The bike has been standing for 2 years, and I arrive on Xmas Eve so no battery places will be open for a few...

    Hi all, XR250 Tornado rider checking in

    Ja I probably don't really need a bash plate, I doubt I'm gonna be taking the Tornado anywhere too crazy. 45 000km around South America sounds absolutely epic. I hope to do even a fraction of that someday!

    Hi all, XR250 Tornado rider checking in

    I'd love to get a bash plate for mine too, Neo, but doesn't seem they're available in SA - like you said previous owner must have imported it. I find the rear suspension OK on mine - I'm 75kg so I'm pretty light, but I guess the stock suspension may be less happy if I add a bunch of luggage. Not...

    Hi all, XR250 Tornado rider checking in

    Thanks Neo_za! Have you done any other mods to your Tornado? Also, have you taken it on any long trips across SA and if so, how did it fare?

    Hi all, XR250 Tornado rider checking in

    I like the sound of a tad more power and a bit more "sound" presence on the road, so I reckon I'll grab a Bosson pipe when I'm back in SA. Any tips regarding the jetting with a new pipe?

    Hi all, XR250 Tornado rider checking in

    I looked at your site a lot when I first got my Tornado! It seems to be about the only English language resource on the Tornado on the web. My bike was bone-stock when I got it, and it was low mileage and in good nick. I did the airbox mod and upgraded the headlight bulb, but that's as far as my...

    Hi all, XR250 Tornado rider checking in

    Hi everyone. I ride a Honda XR250 Tornado when I'm in SA, and I'm hoping to do some exploring of the wilder side of beautiful SA on it, staying off the beaten track as much as possible. I'd like to cross SA coast-to-coast purely on gravel/dirt roads, if possible. I'm from Pietermaritzburg, but...
