1981 Yamaha XS250

 This is a 1981 XS 250 that my ex wife and I bought a few years ago but due to our separation we have now decided to sell. The bike had lain forgotten in a dry. school garage for at least 12 years. apparently they had got it with the intention of starting classes on mechanics etc but these never happened. Before the school got it. it had been hardly used for whatever reasons but the bodywork had been (badly) resprayed and I think the silencers are non original. but they are solid. The only work I have done is to sort out some of the wiring. fit a new battery. drained the carbs and tank and replaced with fresh fuel. replaced the front brake hose with a braided one and replaced the missing sidestand. The chrome mudguards do have rust on them. I took it for MOT a few weeks ago and it passed with NO advisories but the tester did say the carbs could do with cleaning. It is showing a mileage of only 1509. I have no means of verifying this though. The bike is not taxed so therefore no test rides. I advise viewing before bidding. No postage obviously and deposit of £100 within 24 hours of auction ending via paypal. Remainder of payment will be cash on collection. The bike need picking up with either a van or trailer as it is not taxed. No warranty is implied or given.
