1973 yamaha RD250 for sale/trade $2500 obo

BobTheBiker · 04-05-2009, 02:00 AM

doing this to help a buddy find a newer bike.

he's got a 73 RD250 2 stroke bike, which is road legal, currenty registered and insured, and actually riding around. starts with 1-2 kicks cold right now.

He's put a lot of work into this recently, anything that has color to it is powdercoated, including the fuel tank, rims(chrome powdercoat) both fenders, chain guard, rear sprocket, rear hub, part of the front rotor, and some other parts I dont recall right off.

The rear turn signals were moved much closer to the center and fastened into the tail light bracket, all turn signals are LED, you'll need an electronic flasher relay for them to work right.

DG performance expansion chambers and carbs rejetted for the pipes and pod filters. stock pipes are available if you so desire.

Tires are brand new rubber as well.

needs a new chain/sprocket set and some minor cleaning in the petcock. If I get over there before someone buys/trades, I'll fix the petcock issue.

Not sure of the milage on it, as he's got a tach only setup on it, but the bottom end was rebuilt recently, with 3000 miles at most on the top end. clear title also. Dont know if he has stock gauge cluster for the bike.

Overall, this bike is very much a register and ride machine right now.

Bike is located in New Port Richey FL, about an hour north of tampa.

he is looking for $2500 OBO, or trade for a newer sportbike with clear title in FL. presently registered in Maine, but a trip to the DMV and the title and registration is in your name.

and no the good lookin girl on the bike isnt included, nor even legal for most of you.

I'd love to have an RD350. Don't know why, maybe cause dad had one. I know it'd be fun to screw around on.

Good luck bro!

Our yamaha dealership has a kenny roberts race bike autographed on the front cowl. It sits right beside the R1 LE they have on permanent display as well.
