As the other thread suggests, got a broken 250 for sale, and for some reason I can't get the damn photos to run properly, so I thought screw it, I'll put up a new ad with the photos attached. Text the owner to view :)

Hehe, i know who own's that bike.

It still run's btw! ive heard it myself!.
You could easily make it in to a 3 cylinder engine. Just un bolt the con rod etc and weld the whole up, fill it up with oil and away she goes.

P.s he was just riding around and then suddenly he felt oil on his boot.

Ahh okay. Well, who knows, I think he was offered that by someone else, I've got no idea what it's worth. What did you think?

If you could source 2nd hand motor from a wreckers a (reasonably) simple transplant would be the go wouldn't it Wally?

As Jim2 as stated, people have already tried this angle. I'm not getting involved other than to post ads here and relay basic information :P

Thanks for your advice, though.
