    WTB: 250 of some sort or another

    Looking for a cheap 250 or other beginner bike for the girlfriend. Looking to purchase toward the end of this month or sooner as she is taking the MSF course in NH pretty soon.

    Would like to spend as little as possible without sacrificing quality.

    Anyone have a 250 they would like to part with?

    She is looking (or wants, rather), something a bit more sporty. I will keep it in mind!

    Friend of mine has an old beatup 1987 EX500, registered, should pass inspection. Brand new tires front/back, bunch of other new stuff. Ugly as hell. Mechanically solid, I've been through the whole thing myself. Cosmetically, not so much.

    Needs some new gas and some love love love. Yes, 3 loves.

    Probably grab it off him (with title) for $600. Let me know if you are interested.

    That picture is pretty much as it sits now. Could use a bath though.

    PM me for any more info/questions/phone number.

    Forgot to mention, less than 1k miles on the brandy new chain and sprockets.

    Well you clearly had dibs according to forum rules... So if you didn't want it I put it out there. Wasn't trying to sneak it out from under you..

    It's cool, just spoke with Wayne on the phone, he needs to do a little research to see if a 6 foot tall guy will be comfortable on the EX.

    Bike is still available, hasn't been dibbed or anything.

    sveesix,

    You may have already seen this, but in case not, we have an ex250 for sale and would accept reasonable offers.
