So many beautiful two-strokes on Trade Me. I want one!

**mynameis** · 22nd February 2007, 21:56

Well lately I have noticed a few two stroke 250 bikes on Trade Me, I don't think I've ever seen so many on sale for the last year or so.

Here's the list, say if you had to buy one which one would it be and why? Tell me what your picks are and why you would go for that one? The nice RGV 96 VJ 23 isn't on at the moment so here's the ones which are:

Aprilia RS 250's :

One
Two
Three
Four

Honda NSR MC 28 :

One

Yamaha TZR 250 :

One

Where would your money be at guys, oh I must add I've never seen a TZR in such nic condition, good on you owner!!

Mine would be an RS250. Cept I already own the best two stroke ever made..............

**Wenier** · 22nd February 2007, 22:11

I'd go the RS too, but 2 of those 03 models with around 1000km havent really been ridden and would wonder what condition it is in from not having a whole heap of use.

Not an expert on 2 strokes but they are higher maintenance and would think using them would also help.

I'd buy this one, an MZ 250, from East Germany when it was still communist.
Cool!
Madkeenandy will apparently be racing an MZ 250 in the BEARs "Sound of Thunder" meeting this weekend

I have Daisy now...but .... have that feeling coming back...ooh German two-stroker

$1400 ... so close to hitting that buy now button

I'm a hopeless sad case ain't I? And I still need to finish giving coin to Donor for Daisy

**quallman1234** · 22nd February 2007, 22:26

Eww two strokes who would have one of them :P, Jokes
I love the look of the RS's and would to ride one of them on a track day one day in the future

the cheaper of the Prilla's.
but im still a fan of the 98 rs250 of them - especially the one with all the carbon.

**davereid** · 23rd February 2007, 08:14

I think the yammy.. owned RD250 - 350 - 400 over the years and they were great bikes.

Not sure two strokes are higher maintainence than 4 strokes. Proabably true on the old two-stroke oils, but the new synthetic oils don't seem to carbon up as much.

No oil changes to do - no oil filters - no valve clearances - b ike is always running fresh oil. Hmm I better go out and buy one !

**CM2005** · 23rd February 2007, 08:24

Ooooh, thats a really hard one... I'd go the Yammie, just coz. But the 'prillas are well nice... i've already got 3 strokers that don't go!

**imdying** · 23rd February 2007, 08:34

The NSR is the pick of the bunch

**F5 Dave** · 23rd February 2007, 09:47

Stoppit! you'll have me bidding soon.

Ahh, why did they never make a TZR400 to replace the RZ350. Note the missing question mark.

**-df-** · 23rd February 2007, 09:53

this is the 2 stroke I'd be going for.

RGV250 goodness

2 strokes were starting to be abandoned. At the time Yamaha were messing round with 20v engines and exup exhaust valves. So they dissowned all 2 strokes cept for 250's, 500's etc
Stupid EU standards or something
