DR250. Good bike. Basically a Suzuki 'XR'. Might have 22 or so HP.

Pete in New Zealand knows about the Suzuki DR250 motorcycles. I think they are great bikes! If that bike is in good condition, I think you would be wise to snatch it up before someone else does.

I just read Enduroadventures 'fichy' thread in the d/s section...
Doesn't this one (or two) seems a bit strange to anyone?

First there's....

Both look like fun although neither one can be expected to have any useful chassis, suspension, or powerband by modern standards. The second one appears to be the much better deal of the two.

There is a similar bike on CL here for $650 that looks like fun. It's a 100 though.

To me, I thought they looked like the same bike!...just different pic quality, in different towns. Both have that funny passenger seat. Also, neither posts are taken from the same angles of the bike.

Looks like a good deal but FastDoc is not buying any more BritBikes or ever getting married again.

Learned my lesson in both cases.

Yep....Brit bikes are great to collect, polish and show off you your friends.....
Wait a minute....there's a joke here somewhere.

But if your friends ride them they break down and cost you even more money...

Someone who is honest about the bike, and a fair price.

That sounds like a good description. Any buyer should know in advance what they are about to see.
