    Saying that one all restored sure attracted attention at a large Auckland bike show a few years back.

    the " me too" band wagon.



    or if feeling like really spending some money on garage bling, saying that saw one at a Norton Rally a couple of years back

    and they sound awful compared to a Commando unless your into weed eater sounds.

    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    It has the later model tail light too I think - if it had the round barrel speedo, it should have the round barrel tail light?

    the first year had that dash and taillight, they went to the same as the gt750 for the 76 models, always rememebr the huge box of new instruments sitting in colemans in wanganui as they'd upgraded the unsold 75 models to 76 specs by swapping these out.
    unusually for that ear the rea indicator lense is a one model only fitment so will be tough to get a new one

    Haven't seen an RS250 for a year or three but the last one I saw was $10,000.

    I've always wanted to try some MotoGP tyres on my bike. And such a bargain.

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    So the GP part is short for sheep rooting in some clever farmer code I assume.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.
