Lovely tools! Looks like a 250? My mate had a GT380 and it was the job. Quick enough and solid as a rock. We did thousands of miles through the Australian bush. Only seized it once but rebuilt it in a Queensland caravan park. Happy days.

Proper old school classics from the days when you could just jump on a 250 at 17 I had a later GT250 X7 :thumbup:

70,s 2 strokes were all great. I had the original RD200 then the YDS7 before i got the Coffin shaped tank 250 then 400. Then came the LC,s and they were much faster but i preferred the old 400. I had the RD500 ( still wish i had that) then finally a KH750 triple. That seized the middle pot at about 90. It blew the bloody thing apart. From that i bought a Ducato ss900 Darmah. That was soooo unreliable i went back to Jap after that.
Bike insurance living in Germany was approx 3 times the cost of the bike!!!. Ahhhh memories!!!
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!
