A beautiful example of a very rare 2 stroke sports 250cc motorcycle. On a 'G' plate, the clock shows 4000 Kilometres covered and though i can't guarantee that is genuine, i have no reason to disbelieve it. The reverse cylinder is probably the best looking sports 250 that was produced, and was produced in limited numbers for race homologation, sold in Japan and New Zealand only.
The reverse cylinder engine configuration means the exhausts could have a direct route from the engine straight through to the exits under the seat unit without the restrictive gooseneck normally found with exhausts. Though not the quickest of sports 250's, this will see 120mph. MOT until May 2004, this bike has had 1 previous UK owner before me. Feel free to email me with any questions regarding the bike or to arrange a viewing if needed. Use BUY IT NOW and i'll throw in the service manual (even rarer!) At the end of the auction, a £200 deposit is expected either by cheque or paypal, and the remainder to be settled on collection of the bike. Delivery may be possible depending on location and a pre paid fee (contact me before bidding to negotiate) being paid. You are bidding to buy NOT to view! This vehicle is advertised elsewhere and as such, i reserve the right to pull the auction if sold!
Buy it now price of £1400

aye, thats the one, cheers!
anyways, if anyone is interested, i may also throw in the spare seat unit/subframe as well. I was going to carve up the bodywork to show off the exhausts, hence i bought a complete spare backend so i could put it back to stock. the spare backend is not offered on the ebay auction, but for you guys, then maybe...!

2ma.... before i got the 3ma i toyed with the thought of a 2ma for the road, but decided against it as i would end up using it for spare parts for the race bike, and ultimately would be left with a pair of wheels and a frame!
so, no, sorry mate, wouldn't take a 2ma as px, espesh as i'm after an r6 next.
and yep, i still got it!
Swap for an SRX400 and some CBR wheels! :roll:

no, the 3ma and the 2ma make more or less the same bhp, though there is a lot more potential for more with the 3ma. The biggest factor, is that the 3ma weighs a lot more than the 2ma. Although that effects acceleration/top end, the handling of the 3ma is far better than that of the 2ma.
hope that makes sense??
