“ My search for photographs of XL250 ’ s in competition led to a quite unexpected source – New Zealand . Yep , it seems that Mr . John Nicholson ( pictured ) and his gang at Vinduro NZ are all into the first-generation Honda XL250 ’ s , as well a wide range of other cool vintage bikes . With minor adaptations , John says the XL is a fine mount for vintage racing .” PHOTO COURTESY JOHN NICK , VINDURO NZ
