Two stroke smoke is in the air! 2013 has certainly started with a bang given the number of great smokers we have seen in the past few weeks. Here is another one to consider; while not stock, it does look very clean and sports a New Mexico title. Consider the following photos:
From the seller:
This bike started off as a very used stock NSR250SE MC21. It is now the beautiful bike in the photos. Kept in temperature controlled garage.

If oil can be referred to as “black gold” then surely the market should start to refer to these two strokes as “smokey gold.” Prices are definitely on the move, with stakes on the rise for top-level examples of the breed. This bike – while not stock – seems to qualify as per the pictures. The starting bid is set at $9,000 with no takers at the time of writing, so if you want to make ring-a-ding noises in the new year you’d better come with a full wallet. Check out the pictures and details and let us know what you think!

How light are these 2 stroke 250s?
Four-Stroke guy here …but oooohhhhhhh weee that is Two-Stroke porn personified !! Nice bits come togther well !!
That’s a sexy looking bike.
Just don’t leave it any where without a lock I see no key’d ignition system also lack of oil injection system.
Also overly complicated the cooling system for ya and if I remember right the RS250 took those special stubby short type NGK plugs and caps which are no longer avil new. I see more negatives then pluses it’s not very street friendly in it’s current state.
The thing is, if you aren’t sure what you are talking about, either do some research or keep quiet. The stubby short plugs are easily available. They’re not cheap, but they are to be had without a problem as are the caps. I know this because I use them on my RS125. The “complicated” cooling system is an HRC RS250 radiator. This will add much better cooling for the bike. The RS250 does not come with a thermostat, it expects you to come with Duct Tape. The Guhl is a VERY good way to avoid the duct tape and the guessing out of how much to use. This was done, IMHO, quite well. It could very well be an ex race bike, but if it runs nicely, has good compression, it could be a blast to ride. Personally, I don’t care for premix on a street bike, but many people don’t mind. It is what it is and the seller has been honest.
As for weight, supposedly around 280 pounds, but that could be optimistic.
