Is the early alloy tank PE250 any more desirable than the later plastic tank models or are the alloy swing arm 79/80 models more sought after?
79 model isnt alloy swing arm.
I do think the 77 250 B is quite desirable as its the first model and the model that started it all, it also has an alloy tank which to many people means it has a more 'classic' or 'Worksy' look/feel about it
My 82 PE250 is desirable to me because it is such a rare bike and many people at first didnt believe me when i said they existed and i had one.
The 1980 PE250T is also more desiarble to me as there was a lot of improvements over the 79 and had a totally different new look.
The 1981 PE250X is not as desirable to me as its only a refinement of the 81
If i had to choose a 77, 78 or 79 model then it would be a 77 for sure, stock standard 78 or 79 models dont do much for me, i would only like one of them if could have one with every single piece of period trick aftermarket gear available at the time like what Luke has with is 175 N. In stock form, 78/79 250's dont do much for me.
