She’s a 1977 Yamaha DT 250 that I picked from the sound chaps in Morans in Drumshanbo Co. Leitrim. It was restored by a previous owner a few years back. Fun ride up to collect it, 2 up on a Honda CRM250ar in the rain. Spin home in the cold dark rain with 6v lighting isn’t to be recommended but was definitely worth it! Lovely wee yoke to ride and extremely comfy! Quite chuffed so I am.

I picked this up a couple of weeks ago as a winter hack. After a couple of spins I greatly under estimated it how mad they are :eek:

Beautiful

I had a 2005 W650, best bike I ever owned.

I got butterflies in my stomach every time I took it out.

I really wanted a W800 when i was looking for my first bike last year, couldn't find one at a decent price though

They are a pleasant bike to ride but expensive to buy new. Even a secondhand one could be dearer than a new enfield 650 , which is similar. Mine is 152 reg probably worth about 5500

yeah thats what I found, and tbh it wouldn't be suitable for camping across europe either.
I got a F650gs twin instead

Wow looks great naked! Do you normally have the screen and belly pan off? I had one in white.

MrCostington · 23-12-2020 12:33pm

Not mine but spotted in East Wall this weekend, any ideas what is is?

On the car section there is a "What's the oldest car you saw today" thread, maybe you guys might consider one for here?

Nah,was genuinely out on business related matters today.
Couldn't be arsed with 4 wheels,when 2 wheels on the snow is so inviting.:D
A bike is a bike,its meant to be ridden in all weathers.
So that's what I do.

Put a deposit down on this one. It has not been released in Europe yet but should be available later in spring.
