Sure we all love high-strung homologated specials and superbikes with big horse power. But riding these bikes in the real world can be a bit unrealistic and cause you to cramp into a pretzel fairly quickly. May I present an alternative: The Yamaha SRX250. These bikes have a moderate 32hp from a single cylinder 250cc engine, but weighs in at a mere 270lbs. Big power and stiff suspensions don’t necessarily mean fun to ride.
The SRX250 up for auction here sure looks to be in good condition. Only a few small paint chips here and there and a slightly scrapped muffler appear to be the only outstanding imperfections. With only 8,563 miles, this bike seems to be well maintained and looked after.
From the seller:
“1987 YAMAHA SRX250
8563 miles. Very nice condition.
Tires are excellent, no cracking. Engine starts easily &
runs perfect.Seat has no rips. A few small chips in paint. Side of
muffler is scraped. (see photo’s)Clear AZ title.”
If you’re looking for a cheap alternative to any of the new 250’s, and want something a little more unique, then take this bike into consideration. You won’t see many of these rolling around as they were only sold in the U.S. for one model year. If this bike seems like a good way to rip around town or race in your own neighborhood GP, then take a look at the auction here and score this clean SRX250!
