Contrary to popular belief, not everything the Icon Garage Team touches turns to gold. For a couple of years this beautiful example of an XR400 sat patiently in a back corner awaiting her date with fame. You may remember her from the Speed Cretin write-up in which she was carelessly referred to as a 'whore'. Nothing could be further from the truth. She was actually a lovely gal that just needed a bit of freshening up. And we intended to do just that. But as so often happens, life - and other more glorious builds, got in the way. Eventually she would be sold for scrap and all memories of her existence purged from Icon's mind. But fear not - an CRF230 just rolled into the shop today with dreams of becoming a street tracking starlet. All is not lost.

Equipped with Ironhead Borrani wheels, ZX10 Front End, and a Jstyle for scale
The initial comp drawing...
