1981 Yamaha SR 250 by Harney Boy Racing

This beauty is a heavily customized 1981 Yamaha SR 250 dual sport motorcycle built up by Tim Harney of Harney Boy Racing.

The Road: A boy and his bike

A common question that we get here at Smith Butler BKLYN is if the bikes we feature in the shop are for sale.  Unlike some cosmetic jocks  in the East Village, we don’t use motorcycles as props or gimmicks.  These bikes are the real deal, from real builders for real riders.  We try to help everyone [...]
