This one was only active for about a day and sold so quickly that we didn’t get it into the queue in time. When first listed it had an opening bid of $6500 and stated in the description that the reserve was $7500 with title. Considering the condition and title, I thought we’d see bids well past the stated reserve as the auction ran it’s course considering last year’s notable RS250 sales on eBay. Instead when I went back to see the recent bidding activity the listing was already finished with a buy-it-now of $7500, which seems like a steal to me. When did eBay allow sellers to ad a buy-it-now after an auction had already started? In any event, congratulations to the seller on a quick sale and the buyer on what appears to be a well bought MK1 RS250!

Never down or crashedI didn’t think I’d ever sell this bike. I raced for over 10 years before I bought this bike and the GP bikes would dominate the 600’s at the track; nothing comes close to a 250 GP two stroke for hard core fun. I am also an engineer and restore motorcycles so I have taken very good care of it, more ogling than riding actually (always kept in a heated garage, and never, ever ridden in wet weather). Exotic grey market two strokes are hard enough to find and even harder finding in this condition with a clear street title. But I just turned 60 and I need the money and garage space. I have owned it since 2009 and put less than 500 miles on it (one track outing, a handful of street rides and a local Italian motorcycle show). The previous owner put the later model front wheel on the bike and the front tire is a little wider than stock. The later model wheel does not engage the original mechanical speedometer gear and so he removed the speedo/ drive (no loss, if you have time to look at the speedometer you’re not riding it hard enough). The odometer reads 2376 miles from when he converted the front, so the actual 5,000 miles listed is my estimate. That being said, this is a low mileage bike in perfect mechanical condition, although my recommendation would be to put fresh tires on it before heading to the track or canyons. My reserve is $7500. The spare body work is in great condition and worth $1K by itself. Good luck bidding!
I really like the U.K. magazine review at the bottom of the ebay add.
