1974 SUZUKI TS250

KEY FACTS

• An original and unrestored, one-owner example of the dual-sport motorcycle.
• It is powered by the 247cc air-cooled two-stroke engine with Pointless Electronic Ignition and CCI lubrication producing 23 hp, coupled to the five-speed synchromesh transmission.
• It would benefit from a fresh service before taking to the road again.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• The black frame is complemented by red body elements, chromed metal detailing, and a black vinyl seat cover.
• This example has been fitted with an aftermarket luggage rack.
• Its original sales leaflet and toolkit will be included.

CONDITION

• No accident damage to the frame or body parts.
• Its red paintwork is in generally good order, with some surface blemishes, but still presentable enough for regular use.
• The chromed and polished metal elements have obvious pitting and surface corrosion, so would benefit from being refinished in due course. Likewise, the black paintwork on the frame is showing its age.
• The black seat trim is in good order, with no damage.
• No electrical faults have been detected.
• The most recent MOT test was on 30 October 2017 at 2,487 miles, which was a clean pass with no advisories or defects.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The bike has not been serviced recently, so would benefit from a light recommissioning service before taking to the road again.
• New rear shock absorbers and springs were fitted in 2000, along with new front wheel bearings in 1983.

SUMMARY

This Suzuki TS250 is an original example of the dual-sport motorbike, with an attractive colour scheme, with would now benefit from some sympathetic cosmetic restoration. While a service is recommended, there are no known mechanical issues, so it should prove to be a sound addition to any classic motorcycle collection.
