SOLD SOLD SOLD

I picked this up about a year ago off of here and learned to ride, so I thought I'd post it up here and "keep it in the family." If I recall, I gave Skinny first dibs, but that was a while back so he might even have a bike by now.

That was the condition a year ago, since then:
New Chain
New Sprockets
New mirrors (It only had 1)
New Sparkplug (That's right it only has one ;))
Carburetor Rebuild
Regular Oil Changes etc.

Also the bike will come with an extra set of brake pads.

Bad stuff:
Speedometer- broke within the last 1000 miles.
Top Speed of 74 Mph- whatever, It's a beginners bike, you punks can't even get on the freeway
Friend dropped it twice-
Once in a parking lot at 0 Mph
- scuffed the rubber bar ends/grips
Once by doing a wheelie on Peachtree road. (No really, I didn't even know a 250 could do that till I saw it.)
- Scratched the passenger grab bar in the back and destroyed the tail light lens, which has allready been replaced to keep it streel legal / keep the cops off me
No title - Not an issue for me, got a tag without it.

Overall it's my 100% reliable backup bike for when my YZF is down and out. Never had an issue with starting after the carb rebuild. Price is obo, but I've turned down some pretty decent ones from my neighbors. As far as trades go I do-NOT need anything with 4 wheels. Maybe a dirtbike or something.

BUMP

I let this thread die cause the YZF lost 2nd gear, but I just completed the a motor swap on that one, so now I don't have to commute on the 250!

Update on condition-
-Right mirror is cracked now, don't know how
-Needs a new chain allready (shoulda gone with an O-ring chain)
-Fork seals are gonna be needed sometime

I'll drop the price $100 till I get these things done to it.

~ $900 ~

ok, new chain is on. I'm headed out of town for a week, so I won't be responding to PMs.

I think I've seen you driving this before in Decatur. I usually notice older bikes when I see one. If I needed one I would be interested, good luck!

William, I fully plan to drop this bike a few more times. Are you still taking offers?
