    Honda XR 250 "tornado"

    Anyone have a Honda XR 250 "Tornado" ? I need to assess the seat height for my girlfriend, as we're traveling, and she'll be riding that bike. Would really appreciate it if any XR 205 owners chime in re lowering mods. I've heard there's an extra (lower) shock mount hole stock ? Thanks.

    We rode the Whipsaw trail last weekend, and had quite the adventure !
