Hi from the TX Hill Country

Hello!
It has been awhile since I owned any kind of motorcycle, but have received what looks like an abused Enduro with many of the lights etc missing. There's no title or any other official paperwork and its in pretty rough shape but should be fun rebuilding if I can figure out what it is.

My first question I'll be posting soon is how to ID the thing. I was told it is a Tomoto 250cc but I can't tell.

It's a freebie that once I get some info about it I should be able to recondition it at least for the ranch out here. I will keep reading as much as I can, this should prove to be a fun project, and thanks for any help in advance!

See ya!
Jim

Welcome! Try to ID the bike from the mfr. plate, or at least post what it says on it--many of these brands were bikes that were mfg. by someone, and the importer or distributor simply slapped on some stickers indicating a 'brand name.' Plus the plate will give a year of the bike, too.

Thanks all, you've already started answering questions for me. The poor thing should be thumping through the brush again soon with some care and help from you guys of course.

See you in the posts!
