Is that the one with the funny inboard front disc thing? I used to want one of them, ended up getting a Yamaha RD350YPVS instead... Good times!

I had one when I was 16 (and so was the bike). I actually bought back the same bike my brother had owned when he was 16 but I only paid half of what he sold it for.
I road it every day for about 7 months and did precisely no maintenance.
Bald tyres, rusted through exhaust, no rear brake and a chain that was so loose towards the end you couldn't turn left. Looking back its probably a miracle I didn't die.
Sat in the shed for 2 months until I eventually sold it for not much less than I paid to a guy who had two others and was planning to make one good one.
He even brought his own number plates and rode it home.

its a vt250f limited edition 1986 the same colour as this. it has lost the stickers though. all there, carbs were removed an vapor cleaned. and the whole bike dry stored on paddock stands for the last 6 years. its dusty but seems good. will get piccies up when i can get someone to help me get it out of the previa. its very heavy for a 250, prolly why not fast like an rd250.  |

some of them 4 stroke 250s were mental.
special JDM versions with lots of fancy bits.
don't think the VT 250 had a special version though

its an import and has a flat stye frame like a super bike. the uk models all had old style round tube frames. apparently it is way over the 33bhp limit.
