That is a bargain.
Is it my eyes or has it been painted green, was that to increase or decrease the sale value ;D
-
Has to be worth more being green , for sure ! ;D
Does it run ?
-
Yes some idiot used green house paint . All the wiring is there the headlight and taillight have just been unplugged . So they are a good little bike then , Might restore it and rego for a vinduro if we ever have one in Tas . Forgot about HBBB can use it as a pit bike . Yes it runs but needs a rebuild . Iain

They are great bikes.
If you are lucky then the paint will just peel off.
If it has been on a long time then it may have protected the plastics from fading.

Good chance the only you'll need to strip that paint is ten minutes, 1 stubby and a pressure washer! ;)

Give me some time to raise the bucks Geoff and I'll get one and a muffler to suit of you . Iain

Good base to start with Ian how are you going to cope with all that suspension travel.
-
Yeh there is a lot of travel and damm its tall how do you guys swing a leg over these new fandangled bikes , might have to put DT1 forks on it and weld on twin shock mounts to be able to get on it . Iain ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
looks like an 82 J model, with the shock under the tank with the rocker arm link.

most IT200, 250, 465 or 490 owners would dispute this ;)

Its funny after my first bike at 14 years old and about 60 bikes later Ive never owned a Kwaka . nothing against them just never seemed to get the urge to buy one . only had Yamaha's , Honda's , Suzuki's , Ossa's , Bultaco's , Montessa's , Maico's , Dekson's , Damm thinking back Ive had a lot of bikes wonder where they are all now .
