    Looks like a brand new GN250 being delivered.

    There are no bike experts on KB. Just strokers.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    My guess....except the chain/guard is wrong side. Still thinking Jap, tho.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    It's a twin cylinder single carb 2-stroke, thinking Yamaha. My guess is YD-2.

    If it is japanese it'll still start!
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    It looks like a Suzuki T10 250 from the 60's BUT no-one has commented on why the chain drive is on the right so maybe something like an MZ or CZ?

    Yep, but pretty sure that none of the YD series had fork gaiters whereas the Suzukis did (God, I'd better get an anorak and a train spotting book). Maybe you can tell me I'm wrong and make me feel a whole lot better

    That's true, but remember it's a 40 year old (dumped) bike and people did all sorts of mods back then. May have had YDS forks put on it.
    Sheez, I'm sounding like a geek here but I like my classic Yamahas (hence owning the YG1)

    One thing I do like about the bike is the rust free luggage rack at the back of the bike....

    It looks like only one spark plug poking out, in the centre of that wide-looking head.
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.
