SUMMARY

A tidy example of Yamaha's popular twin-cylinder, 2-stroke commuter bike finished in classic Yamaha Yellow and Black 'speed blocks' colour scheme.

DESCRIPTION

  • Produced between 1973 and 1987 Yamaha's RD250 was a huge success story
  • The learner-legal, 248cc, two-stroke twin was at sporty little commuter bike ridden by many prior to moving on to bigger bikes
  • In 1983 the UK government changed the learner class and reduced it the 125cc effectively ending the 250cc market in the UK
  • This 1980 bike is in nice mostly original condition although the paint work has been refreshed during its life
  • Finished in classic Yamaha 'speed blocks', Kenny Roberts yellow and black colour scheme 
  • Confirmed running, the bike has been in storage for a period of time so some recommissioning would be required
  • Paperwork details to follow
