Title: Unmolested TM250
Post by: VMX247 on June 01, 2009, 09:50:19 pm
Ebay Item No    230346296666
Strange goings on...cut and paste 3 times...blame the lightning storm in the sky here tonight  :-\
OK be serious now, I'm hoping this is the right item No.

Is the color scheme 73 ?
What is a 52561 ?
cheers

You must have pasted the wrong link in, "Olympic Sideburns" would have only ever had the one single wouldn't they and waaaayyy overpriced at $5  ;D

Freaky, fit the correct emblems, exhaust,carb, handlebars, black paint removed from the forks then it is pretty much original excepting the dogleg levers and bead blasted cylinder so yup, it's more or less unmolested in my way of thinking also. Nowhere does the seller say what year so it's not like he's misrepresenting anything but whoever rode it may have trying to make it look like something it isn't ;) It's up to the buyer to do his homework with the information supplied before he/she hits the bid now button.

I named the thread unmolested to be sarcastic-(this not work on forum writing  ::)  )
The motor areas looks to have done a few days. :P
Anyway its a good price for a starter and I don't think that he would get knocked back at a club day with it ............All in all a nice bike 8/10.  8)
If it's a TM250M thank you, with 73 stickers, good oh  ;D
cheers

probably one of the easiest restorers you'd find. It's all pretty much there and 'basically unmolested' but whether it's worth 3K depends on if you wished to throw another grand at it to get it up to pristine picture perfect or just hop on and ride as is. I reckon it's a fair price either way. I personally prefer the '75 TM graphics above all others so this would be the first thing I'd change back to original followed by flicking off the pipe for something a little more asthetically appealing. Personal preferences though ;)

actually I lied :P the very first thing I'd do is split the motor and sus out the mains and bigend as I notice it doesn't run the oil res either which concerns me a little ;)

I got the sarcasm, which is why i highlighted it, i though the comment " realitively easy life" interested me as an observation.

Yer ok its been flogged and molested :-X

Suppose it is a bit expensive if you want to compare the price to another bike of that era

one little thing to take into consideration when comparing the CZ price Alison and that be 'Reserve Not Met' ;) I'm sorry I don't understand the sarcasm guys ??? I see a fairly well unmolested TM250 that could easilly be restored to pristine condition.
