IT250 models. What year was it made.
« on: October 01, 2010, 05:24:32 pm »
I have been offered a early IT250. I have not seen the bike yet, but am told it has a steel swingarm. What models and years were made with steel swing arm? I am hoping it is pre78 legal. What year was the first IT250 made? Any help would be appeciated.
