NedK Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hello allRight. The garage needs emptying before the new Caterham arrives. So I have some motorbikes to sell. I will try here, before I go to eBay etc. UPDATE: NOW AVAILABLE ON EBAY http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-RD250-aircooled-ideal-winter-project-/181604563993?FIrst up is a Yamaha RD250, dating from 1979 (V-reg). I bought it in 2003 as a running machine, albeit not road-legal (lack of electrics), and it was a fantastic little bike. I won't describe the RD250 in detail, as those of you who'd be interested will already know more than I do about them. The wheels/tank/etc are in yellow, though I don't think this is the original colour (though it is on the V5).The bike is now in several large-ish parts, as I started to pull it apart with my kids a while ago. The engine still turns over (I have a video of me cranking it by hand). The expansion tanks have taken a bit of knock (I'm sure it's been proddie-raced) but make a tremendous noise. On eBay, finished versions go for £2000-5000. I'm open to offers on this. I will throw in the Haynes manual (such generosity)! Whoever buys will need to collect, probably in a van or with a trailer.Anyone interested?ThanksNedEDIT - THANKS FOR THE TIP JONATHAN!EDIT - Sold for £1100 (that's a lot of new spanners!)

NedK Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 They were. They didn't call them 'coffin tanks' for nothing...Power to weight is great. This is one of the last aircooled ones, as they went liquid-cooled the following year I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
