Foo Foo needs a new home

This is your chance to own a piece of www.offroadmotorcycles.ca history!

If you’ve been around any big off-road races over the past two years you’ve undoubtedly seen me buzzing around on my souped-up Yamaha XT225, affectionately nicknamed “The Foo Foo bike” or, depending on how it’s being used, “The Foo-Fighter.” It’s a great little street legal trail bike and I hate to part with her, but the time has come to clear some garage space. If you are looking for a legit dual sport bike with a low seat height and good suspension Foo Foo is it!

Here are the specs:

2007 Yamaha XT225. Bought new in 2009.

Mileage: 5,612 km

Always carefully maintained by licensed motorcycle mechanic, includes owners manual and service records.

Includes all stock original parts.

Modifications:

This XT225 will go anywhere at decent trail riding speed. The suspension is set for a 165lb off-road rider and the engine runs like a charm. Over $2000 worth of upgrades! If you are looking for a bulletproof, fun, light and easily manageable street legal trail bike the Foo Foo bike is it!

$4000. Southern Ontario location. Please use the ‘contact’ tab to send an email if you are interested.
