Whoa, I hope he gets his Buy Now prices - I should be able to retire if the market for MX250's is that strong ;D.

pm sent Ed ;)

I must have been out of the room when TM 250 Suzukis and MX Yamahas had a value spurt and became more valuable than CCMs,Metisses and 490 Maicos. Besides the chrome pipe on the TM is there something special about these bike I'm missing?
-
mmm..trust me when I say the TM250 is not a '74 but a '75. I know this bike and I know the guy who built it ;) damn nice bike but $14k ::) Oggy, glad you noticed chromed GMC pipe as being special ;D
-
yes, that was my bike, its a tm 250 75 model sold it to him about 13 months ago
-
Ray Sulivan from emerald QLD built the bike. and then ray and l did a swap.
-
Cyclone Sully alright Albrid, nice bloke and the proud owner of the mighty Cheney TM400 8) did you happen to keep the Fox shox that used to adorn it? :P
-
wow, I've got a MX250A and a MX360A, they are now for sale if that's the going price. I think somebody might just be dreaming!!! Hold on I'm in WA even more remote, they could be worth double, then I could buy that cheap maico, Rickman and CCM. Ok give me a price!!!

Wow i can retire.
re the TM where did ray get the RH air pod and the tank stickers from ? be interested in getting some of that :)
-
I'll ask him Freaky but I'm pretty sure the airbox came from the guy in unzud who's name eludes me at present, not sure about the stickers but I feel they may have come from unzud too. Will find out tonight ;)
-
Cool i got his email here but i think he is away more than he is home so it might be easier if you get him or the wife on the phone for a heads up.
-
Freaky, I new you would chime in ....If you want one I will add it to my order ;)
-
MAYBE IT'S A APRIL FOOLS JOKE ??????? ;D
-
hey Betric, that's a possibility!! good thinking :D
oldfart, now what do you do want with an RH replica airbox..hmmmmm :P make sure it's for the right model eh, 20mm can make a lot of difference :'( ;)
-

try mailing Mike on [email protected] for your airbox needs

Hi Dr
thanks for your nice comments, there is nothing real special in the bike just a lot of hours spent on the resto, you did an excellent job plating the bits and pieces the air box did come from NZ it cost me $80nz. Freaky regards to the stickers I had them done locally here and they turned out a treat, BR Marc thanks for the offer on the Cheyne but sorry to say it is not for sale. It is a '75 TM250 which I bought off Dave Tanner from the GC with the front end frame and motor with a few other bits and pieces, good to see it I did wonder what ever happened, I am going to post up a couple of pics of another couple of bikes I have restored as Iwould like to see what has happened to them one is a '76 CR250 which was sold Brisbane South and a '74 TM250 which went to the sunshine coast.
cheers

I just bought one of those airboxes for my '74 RH from Mike Felton in NZ and it cost me $250 aus landed in Qld. Is that Cheney TM400 in central Qld now? I did the tank paintwork on it when Dave Tanner owned it and haven't seen it since he sold it.
-
fox shocks l don`t have anymore sorry.
-
Cyclone are you RAy sully, still got that TM for sale here and i noticed someone is doing a run for petrol money from melb to brissy so your transport is no longer a problem
are you interested 4 $650 ? or less if it cut it back to just the big TM bits
-
Ray, here's a pic of the CR250 and an incomplete TM250. I may have others but I don't have any logical method of naming the files so it may take a while before I stumble onto them ::)
-
and the TM250...

Oh you bite so easily, just don't bite at Collie on the weekend!!!lol
-
:D the 1974 background bike is a TM125 Johnny, good call ;)
-
The TM and the MX seem a bit overinflated,but I'd take the KX A3.Price seems a bit more reasonable.
-
There's one disappointed little Taswegian :(.
Past in at $1175 (which is stupidly low) well short of the Buy Now $5000). The KX is a very desirable collectible and a nice example.However, I'm not sure even in the best of time that it would justify $5000.
The TM and MX are not showing much interest either. I think the Launceston addy is putting people off :P.
With a Buy Now like that I wondering if he is really that keen to sell. Maybe he is now gonna report to 'she who must be obeyed', or the divorce lawyer ;), "Gee honey, I couldn't get a decent price, I better keep them." ;D
-
Its not in Tassie- but its a high price bidding war :o with two days to go :o

The airbox on the "TM" looks like plastic in the pics. Or is it a painted fibreglass one. I have a fibreglass one from NZ on my bike and it is not painted and looks slightly different in shape to the" TM "one. Maybe there is a couple of different moulds - or is it a one of a kind item? Does anyone know if the RH 250L (74) airbox fits the TM with or without mods. I imagine the shape on the RH 250(1975) changed a bit with the laydown shocks. I will try to get a pic of mine up here.
-
yeah it fits TM, looks a bit like this

i like the fancy floor covering and the cute lamp in your workshop! cheers wally.
-
That is the same as the one on my bike Marc. I had a closer look at the box on the "TM" , with my glasses on this time, and it is probably the same as yours. I might have to paint mine.
-
Re kx250 a3 I remember our local Kawaski dealer trying to unload A3`s in 1979 couldnt sell them the prices at the time where 500.00 for a 125 650.00 for a 250 750.00 for a 400. At the time I thought why would you buy one of those shitboxes for ,hard to get parts .So bought a nice modern IT 175F instead

I think it is exactly the same as mine, it came from the same place.
