[frostype400]

Im after a suzuki tm 250 to do up and race some pre 75 on i would like to do one up myself insted of buying one ready to race please pm me i you have a reasonably complete project it would be good if the bike is in Victoria so i dont need to worry about transport thanks Michael.

Ok no worries David thanks i will consider most locations in australia it would be good if it were in vic but that doesnt really matter does anyone have a project one they want to sell thanks Michael.

How much do you want to spend ?

[frostype400]

Thing is i want a project i dont want to spend heaps to buy the bike i am more inclined to spend more to do one myself so i would say i just want a good solid base for a project a fairly complete one plastics and parts that arent hard to source dont bother me but engine and frame singarm and forks and stuff like wheels i will probably need i am not sure what i want to spend probably as little as possible but i realise these bikes are collectable and i will have to spend around the $1000 to get a project at all but i am saving up and if i see the right bike at the right price i would buy it thanks Michael.

Micheal , I'm going in the opposite direction  and building a Ts/Tm   plenty of parts still available for Ts models

Hi oldfart thats good but i really want the real deal even though a replica would be good i just like to have matching number things i dont have many bikes and im only a young bloke 16 so i know i can always get a ts and hot it up and race pre75 but i have had my eyes set on the suzuki tm 250 for a while now i have my viduro ride sorted the pe400. i would like to get a hold of a mates cr480 but i will be patient and just buy what i really want it seems alot of people are doing replicas these days and it is great for the sport it enables much more people to get involved i am happy just to ride my pe400 in the vinduros at the moment hopefully a tm250 will pop up soon thanks for the replys Michael.

Hi TM Bill if its to hard for me to get one i simply wont bother i would love to have one as i am looking at getting into pre75 and i know people say this isnt the best bike i would like to ride a suzuki and bikes do pop up i scored a very original complete running yamaha rd 250 a while ago that i wasnt even looking for but when i was offered it for $200 i had to get it i have been offered alot of bikes and gear like my marushin moto mg cost $0 i will keep looking something should come up thanks Michael.

[oldfart]

Michael dont get me wrong you will find a TM 250 and in the current economic climate a tidy original one will turn up in your price range 
Its just that the frame & engine numbers dont match on TMs  Good luck any leads ill pass them on to you Bill.

[frostype400]

my bad tm bill i miss understood what your were saying if i was alive when all these were new i would know that the numbers dont match im only 16 im prepared to wait i have looked at a couple of pre75's but the tm is what i want and i dont mind having to spend more to get a original bike and i never set out to get a race ready bike that someone has built i want to do my own to original specs and i know that some might do ts/tm replicas but i wouldnt enjoy doing that myself i would prefer a genuine ts 250 in the shed than a mock tm im not saying that is wrong to do that anything that gets more blokes on bikes on the track is a good thing but the whole ts tm thing im not a huge fan of myself i would really like a project genuine tm250 i dont have two many bikes a couple went in the fires but that isnt a big deal to me our mates house where they were he has lost everything bikes cars and so much centimental things like photos and war medals of his grandfathers i actually have his first bike though as i promised him i would do it up and i am just about to start work on it i have nearly everything for it it will be a great gift for him when its done i have my pe400 which i dont call excellent it is good though and i have done everything except paint myself so im very happy to have it and i ride it as often as possible and we sold a couple because they werent seeing use i am very happy with my yamaha rd250cd i think it and my pe400 i may keep forever.

suzukis generally never had matching numbers
