2 Stroke Beast

A true man's bike!!! Big Enduro
I always wanted the IT250 after selling my RD125LC but some how ended up with a 350 YPVS instead!
490cc air-cooled 2-stroke with basic drum brakes back and front - wow they don't make em like that anymore.
I don't think he is bothered about a quick sale at that asking price

i think would get close to that for a UK spec bike but not a Yankee model.
But then someone out there may have a spare bit of change to buy it with - sadly it won't be me!

Nice. And it's probably worth the money given their rarity and that particular bikes condition

I always fancied the KDX420? But I'd need Harris step ladders

Roadrunner could buy that with what he's got in his wallet now.

The UK spec ones are rare but a lot have been imported from the states, so there are a fair few about.
The UK ones are better if you're looking to use it on the road as they were kitted with a speedo, brake light etc as standard, whereas the USA ones are more or less a moto crosser with lights.
Still looks a good bike 34 years on.
Didn't you have a crosser tucked away in your garage Stig?

The KX125 and the Husky 360 were both sold over a year back. There's only the EXUP and RG now as far as 2 wheels are concerned

If I can finish the Twincam before summer I'll then finish off the RG, then that too will go

If I come across a KE125 or early CB250K for cheap money I may buy them as projects to do later date

very nice - but must confess I would like a KE125 at some point, passed my test on a KH125 I borrowed for the day but prefer the enduro look. That was a good day - 17yrs old, TS50ER in the morning, KH125 for an hour so lunchtime DR600 in the afternoon

Ah the good old days that when you passed your test, you were able to jump on anything you liked.
