When I picked up my VTR250 today, the seller had a couple of "smokers" in the garage.

Getting this Sachs back in service should be easy.
I am very eager to feel this one...has the potential to be extreme.
Have passed on others before, but this deal was a $$ no-brainer.
Temps are keeping me off the bikes for now.
I have no heat in the garage, but that is gonna have to change soon... :urban:

The VTR250 could be yours Jumps...riding it for two days, 100+ miles each day caused some pain in my arms that took two weeks to go away. I was afraid that something like that would happen, but insisted on having a go. No regrets, but there is little sense in keeping it... :urban:

I saw that exact same bike in person and was gonna buy it almost a year ago from a guy in Oakridge, he was gonna brig it over to a friends the next day and I just came across the spree instead. I wanted a bike to restore, but wish i jumped on that bike a while ago. I love 80s series cars and bikes. something about them screams passion in the detail and design. I think he wanted 2500 for the bike when i looked at it, if that isn't it then someone else has restored a bike to the same exact cleanness.

EDIT: after looking into it, it is the exact same bike, holy crap that cool.

Thank you ped. On Dec.12, 2015, I led a group on a 100+ mile ride
for lunch at the Riverview restaurant in Ashland City, TN.
The VTR250 was sure fun to ride, but that sport-bike position plays H/E/L/L
on my body. I have some rotator-cuff issues.
The other two are VFR500 and VF700 Interceptors.

If I had any money I would.
I'm deep into fixing two mopeds and still have a derbi scooter or two to mess with.
