I figured what the heck! Let’s keep the 2 stroke theme rolling along.
Auction says it has 1,000 miles on it and has been used for racing and track days, but has been stored for the past 15 months. This beauty has all of the desired up grades already completed. Bike is located in Seattle, WA. Owner states that it is streetable, but I don’t see any lights so you be the judge. Track or street this thing screams FUN FUN FUN!
The owner says:
Has most the upgrades done:
* GP shift (and linkage to change it back to stock)
* carbonfibre cans
* stainless brake lines
* Rachtech forks and shock
* 520 chain conversion
* Woodcraft rearsets
* and more.$100′s in Extras included:
* clutch kit, clutch cable, clutch levers
* 43T and 49T rear sprockets (I’ve got gearing data for the East CCS tracks in the notes of the manual)
* rear brake pedal
* front fork seals
* extra set of clip ons
* rear stand
* synthetic oil
* and more miscellaneous stuff that really pays to have on hand.
Someday I’ll have one of these and I’ll be kill’n mosquito’s with a huge smile on my face.

As a heads up, this one has been on Craigslist all summer. Makes me wonder if it might have a title but perhaps no plates…? Scanning our previous listings makes me think even at $5500 buy-it-now it is a bit optimistic.
This is one of my dream bikes too Doug. When I first got the itch to get a bike of my own years ago, I spent my days at the library reading old Cycle World and Motorcyclist mags, and this looked (at the time) like a perfect beginner bike. Now I know that it’s far too nice to down while learning, but the lines left their mark on my brain. Years later, this Chesterfield popped up in Portland. Fast forward six months, I met up with an old friend who I hadn’t talked to since high school. He’s a major sportbike fanatic and owns a Ducati aftermarket parts business. And guess what lives in his garage… The RS250 Chesterfield I should’ve bought!
Anyway, sorry for the ramble, but seeing another RS250 in Portland made me reminisce.

I thought $5500 was a little steep considering the damage and history. There was a RS for sale locally back in the summer that had been converted to street and titled (I saw it with my own eyes) that was sold for $6,000 and was perfect. But, hey I’m only here to post RSBFS and pass on my opinion for what its worth…..which is a big pile of nothing! I’m kicking myself for not selling something and buying it because now all I can think about is that wonderful sound and smell of 2 stroke oil in the morning ;o)
