    The rg250 is an 84 model from memory. Not restored but running. I have to do some work tuning carbs, making a cable or two, bits and bobs. Has a broken indicator in (full)fairing as well as a couple of small cracks kind of patched up. Has been deregistered, have plate/previous owner details. Screen is not very clear anymore. Original paint/stickers. Whats it worth?

    Bad condition $500. So anything above that. If I were to hedge a bet - I think you could get a grand easy if its still original stickers etc.

    Far too dangerous for you if your as old as your gear best let me do that for ya

    Seriously I would love an old bike to restore but finance is short at the moment so good luck.

    I do know where there is an old royal enfeild?? I would love to get my hands on.

    Yeah there's a few around for sure. My neighbour has one that was given to him although he doesn't have a clue what to do with it when it comes to riding or fixing. Just in his shed for years rusting away. I'm sure he only wants it for bragging value.

    Yer cant really remember what this bike was but was eather a 250 or 175 but was 2smoke with the 3 speed on the lever on the left hand side of the tank from memory.

    Belonged to my bosses father (gone now) and he said if I restored it he would give me something for it but he was a tightwad so new I wouldn't get squat.

    I did get it going though and it would do over 50 miles an hour down the shingle roadno brakes though
