Old 250 models - Page 2

Geezer · 05-03-2007, 10:33 AM

Here's an old 250 .... 1975 Bully

Fond memories ,,, and I bet very few will have seen one

Custom made expansion chamber and upgraded to a motocross piston barrel. It lasted about 2 years until the big end went.

I could lift this off the ground to turn it arond...and I was a 60kg weakling back then.

Good stop off for bike specs (all models) (Most of them are pretty correct) + a couple of manuals for some models

My first bike - the 1982 Yamaha XS 250R - very nice bike good for larger people (like me), used to grind everything on the corners - centerstand, exhaust,footpegs and nothing fazed it, very reliable too ( for a Yamaha)

Only difference was it was blue like this one XS250, they also came out as a XS400

johnnycash · 30-05-2007, 10:19 PM

ive got a kawasaki zx2r 1992, looks very nice and goes hard but how do i know if its a grey import? are they all import? on the chassis it says its a 250c?

Psyched · 16-08-2007, 09:02 AM

Wow this brought back some memories. I started with a Kawasaki Z200, but that's not a 250

Next was a Suzuki GT250 X7 (never did find out what the X7 was for but it was a two stroke and went like hell, I was surprised. Was also my first two stroke bike.*I*had*the*later*model*I*think*1979*or*81*per haps.*It*was*red*and*did*go*fa

Helrayzer · 25-10-2007, 09:30 AM

Was the RD250 over here? Or RD250 LC?
KR1S (Kawasaki) ?
TZR 250 ?

fatchops69 · 27-10-2007, 12:21 PM

what about the RZ Yamaha, identical engine to the RG Suzuki i think
i have a blue and red RZ thats been in bits for years courtesy of my little brother.
mint bike, specially since i weighed alot less back then.

tomlin · 06-11-2007, 01:22 PM

I've got a grey import Yamaha SDR200 and its an awsome bike. Its a single cyclinder 2 stroke with cafe-racer styling and is a comlete hoot to ride. I've not seen another one yet in oz. It only makes about 34 BHP but has quite a bit of torque and only weighs in at just over 100kg's. It was definately made for the smaller japanese rider as I'm onlt 5 ft 7 and its really small and too uncormfortable for me!

Google it and have a look at some pics of it.

Weapon_X · 06-12-2007, 03:25 PM

i have the full yamaha workshop manual for the 250 Virago if anyone is interested PM me i have it in PDF and will CD it.

Not to race on......but gets me there everytime and in comfort too

Now she is for sale....
Hope someone takes her to a good home.......cause she will look after them hehe

Jamathi · 28-03-2008, 06:42 AM

Another 250 Ning-ning, was Australian Motorbike of the YEAR!! in 1984!!
Almost completely forgotten but at the time knocked the Yamaha RD-RZ 250 of their mantlepiece for one year.
Robbie Phillips did race one in the proddie250 series.

I am chasing another 250cc watercooled 3 cilinder Ning-ning for my collection namely the MVX 250 Honda.
Haven't seen one for sale in 2 years

ritza350 · 29-03-2008, 06:22 AM

...mike

Jamathi · 29-03-2008, 09:16 AM

Yep you are correct in what you typed there, BUT it was the forerunner of the NS400R and due to it's uniqeness, (was only on the market for a very short period,) I would like one in my collection.
Honda fixed the problems, but it harmed it's reputation and,.. it was not fast enough to give the Yammies a run for their money.
Missed that Aution.
