No idea guess it would show next to no wear on it. But with free freight back home in 2 years it really would be cheap and awesome buy.
Neeeeed work permit to come through grrrrr

Seams there a re quite a few good old bikes round here we are only 1/2 hr away from what was up until the last race this year the AMA Southwick track.

They're not such a great model. They're only four speeders. The 83 was a giant leap forward and a really great bike. Still cunty left side kickstart though...

Although that one does have the 83 bottom end with resulting 5 speed. But yeah what is it with lefty kickstarts, I cannot, CANNOT start a bike with a lefty.

Shirley you jest? I rode the British Enduro champ's works sponsored bike eons ago. Scared the crap out of me, huge gobbits of torque & a big leap in power when it even got a sniff of back pressure. I doubt I rode it for 5 minutes before I lost my bottle.

My bad. Didn't read the blurb! Yeah...I was only 18 when I had my 83. Was an arse of a thing for me to start as I only weighed around 65kgs back then! I had to stand next to it and use my right foot. Got pretty good at it after a bit of practice...but annoying when you biffed it in a race and had to do that...

Left hand kick isn't as bad as all that fellas.

No sweat on a CR250 mate...but how many 500 two strokes you owned with a left kicker?

Two, but they were twins. Prolly made my life easier.

My furry overcoat it does! Cause you're actually only kicking basically a 250.

These old girls are a piece of piss.

It's not the force required that's the issue with the lefty kickstart, I seem to be very biased to which side of my body/brain works best, which is also why my right turns suck balls compared to my left turns. So I just really struggle with the fluid kicking motion required to kickstart a bike with the lefty lever.

I concur. Trying kicking a football with your left foot. It looks like the gay soccer cup.

Can't kick for toffee so I'm in goal... great ball handling skills apparently. Go the pinks!!
