73 Suzuki GT250 2-stroke street bike. It runs good, starts right up even when it is around 10F. It has a clear title.
The engine and bike both have around 10k miles on them. Also comes with a nearly complete extra bike in pieces that can be used for parts.
The only reason I am selling it is to save some money for a Ducati Monster. Just want to try something different.
$800 for GRM
Does it use an oil tank, or do you have to premix? Kick start only?
I like it. A lot. Enough to call dibs.

It has an oil tank, kick start only. It takes about 4 or 5 kicks to get it going when it is cold and has been sitting for awhile but once it is warm out or if it is above 60 degrees you just kick it once and it is off.
I am uploading a short video onto youtube, it should be up in a few minutes.
Neat little bike there chief! Reminds me of the RD Yamaha's being a 2-smoke and all.
CAFE RACER!!! just flip the bars down...
Ok, I want it. How hard is it to find parts for it? Once I get my schedule from work, I'll be able to get an idea when I can make a trip to Ohio.

Parts aren't too bad to find, you can get what you need from bike bandit. I also have spares of pretty much everything that will come with the bike (except ignition parts but they are easy to find)
Skierd, I'd check ebay too. When I had my RD I could find parts for that thing all day long there. Which was ironic because I had it for YEARS and couldn't find dick. Then ebay happened and they're viable to restore again.
If something changes with skierd's situation I would be interested. Let me know if you don't pick it up!
Let me know if the first two fall through.
This bike is the successor to the X6 Hustler.
oooh, maybe not. I was thinking Ashland, KY area. I see you are way north.
I had an X-6 in '67. At the time it would walk away from my 305 Superhawk, which was supposed to be fast. This is a really sweet looking oldtimer, Evan, and well worth what you're asking. If $$ talks, e-mail me.

The bike is still available.
Unfortunately I assumed this sold and I just went out and bought a Yamaha Aero scooter, so I'm off the interested list, though I now wish I would have waited. Who wants to buy a Yamaha Aero for $800?
I wish you weren't 600 miles away.

I might be willing to meet somewhere in a few weeks if it doesn't sell. I will let you know.
I thought this had already sold. Still available?

Yep, still available. The first buyer passed on it.
oooooo i want....to bad i'm so broke i can't even pay attenion..
That thing looks so much like my Yamaha R5C it's crazy. They don't get much lighter weight than a two-smoke.
