YZ 250 83
I'm listing this here for a friend PM your questions. The bike is in Northen NSW and is Pick up only.
The price is non neg. $1000
Very good core bike.
The good bits. Forks are rust free ,wheels are stright, pipe is good nic, motor starts and runs, rear sproket is newish. Bike is very standard no one has hacked or modified it to much, rear tyre is new,rear shock has damping. $1500 would have this race ready.

The bad
Apart from the tank and air box this is no plastic.
It's going to need a full rebuild there is no denying its a rough dimond. Sorry no photo's as it's not my bike and the owner is an Ludite, If Pre 85 YZ's float your boat this bike is for you.

no sale, still there if anyone is keen. unfortunately the PV looks bodged and the usual stuff like crook rims, rusty forks etc, would not start.
