Bike is currently wof'd (2ish months ago), rego is about to go on hold. Selling as I got full and upgraded.
Original engine lost compression about 2 years ago so got a parts bike and transfered engine, new engine now has around 35k on it I believe, frame has around 60k. Parts bike (85 or 86 VT250FG) was only missing fairings at the time. Also swapped over some suspension bits, original shock stopped rebounding, and forks started leaking. When replacing suspension bits I noticed the replacement forks are a bit shorter, and one of the linkage bushes was looking a bit worn, so they might need seeing to.
EDIT: Parts bike is in HB so would take a few days to bring it down
Goes well, I had no hesitation taking it on longer trips, though it is a little small for me.

Can get more pics if required.
Would suit a mechanically minded beginner biker on a budget!
Reluctant sale but I dont think I'll ever need it again so better it is used than rust away in a shed.
