Original brochure showing what they looked like new!

A very nice 1974 Suzuki TM250 became available which is an active racer that has been well maintained and even has had a few bonus bits. The good thing about active race bikes is you know they can hit the track ok and most riders really look after their race bikes and fix any defects as they occur, a few scratches are normal and at least then  I am happy to add a few more  as well.

It is described as:

• There is a dent in the tank on the left side with some paint flaking off,
• Tank is rust free inside,
• Frame has been repainted, has a few race scratches and rub marks,
• Motor is bore to 1st over,
• New side panels,
• Renthal bars,
• New Renthal grips,
• Motion pro throttle,
• Akront rims,
• Good tyres,
• Works gripper seat,
• Works Shocks,
• New front fork tubes with cartridge emulators,
• Circle F pipe (just repacked)
• Just add fuel and race.
• ……

Well, that meant I had to buy it and I am currently arranging transport to Perth and for the tank to be repaired and repainted over the next month or so.
