My latest time waster

[pmc57]

Hmm, s'pose I was a bit harsh with my description DR, but why give it a look that is totally off the mark. No one, well not in Australia anyway would be interested in buying it the way it is. Am I wrong?
As vmx247 said, everyone to his own, but it's not for me.

Sometimes that's the sad part about it 
1:If you don't ask, you won't know. 
2:Buying a bike and then only to be told that it can't race in that era 
3:New vmxer's can be put off for life. 
4:method in me madness-madness in me method

I didn't mean to sound overly critical of your comments pmc, while I liked the 125 duster paintjob I don't really like what he's done to the 250. It would turn off a lot of people and the chrome or polishing is a little over the top but you have to admire the effort and the quality of the work. A few nos covers and some nice new paint and you'd have a bling 250 albeit a little expensive to start with. $3600au it sold for and the buyer, if you look at his recent purchases, seems a bit of a Suzuki enthusiast

been watching that ebay TS250 Alison but I feel it is already at top $ for what it is. No doubt it will probably go up some more I'd say. Not a bad thing at all but I feel anything over $800 is too much in todays market Seems there are cheapy TS250's and there are expensive bling TS250's but rarely do you see much inbetween. The bike in this auction is such a bike and hence it will attract more bids I'd reckon.

Below is a pic of a TS250 that I'll have in my hot little mitts in about a week or so, over $500 less than the bike on ebay and it's good runner another time waster

Another one -looks heavy to me,or maybe its too much black.
Like the freight to Perth ,you would think we live on the moon      and not knowing who the freight company is,strange. 
Bit of air in the front tyre may get a bit of extra money 
What do you think

not a bad thing either Alison but yes, very heavy metal. Mind you replace the steel lowered clunker type forks and whack on a set of alloy rims and you'd shed a kilo or 2 (a kilo or 2 off the bike that is unless it's a really hot day then you may shed more ) I think the front tyre looks weird as it's one of those low profile chinese cheapies from a pitbike. I bought one for the front of the SL100 and I can't give it away quick enough now ya never know unless you try but I should have known better..$20 doesn't buy much of a tyre

[VMX247]

Thanks DR ,it shows there not as rare as rocking horse poop,with the amount of them around at the moment up for grabs   
Got me stumped as to how the fellow in Tassie thinks he will get 14k for his zuki,
he can only try I suppose 
cheers Alison

[DR]

bit of a story behind that Tassie seller apparently. He's fishing and one never knows their luck rumour has it both the TM250 and the MX may end up in a bike museum if passed in.

[gnomester]

a little lateral thinking helps ppls and, not being overly anal about era or legality for vmx helps as well

the above item is an absolute bargain... 
 
I am pretty stunned at the price paid for this tank....

Well the only thing now, that I reckon is selling these  little suckers for that price is the tangerine type coloring. 
you can get a whole bike for 800 odd,or it's just a Suzuki thing happenin

the lift stands are okay for bikes without downpipes and if you have room but sadly a lot of mine don't fit the catagory VMX. I can honestly say bike stands do absolutely nothing for me A milk crate can be cut to suit the pipes and it can double as a seat and a storage device on the way too and from, much more functional than a dedicated bike stand of any type and best of all..free!
