oh you are a cheeky bastard, thats gotta be a stump, I mean there are no noticable charcteristics and its been smoothed and stripped down for "racing" I'd guess some type of production bike disguised beneath all that duct tape. My guess a Suzuki 250

[Guest Nogbad]

No, and No

No. But I can see why you might think that. In fact though, not even close.

Looking at the budget of the owner: something from East Germany? An MZ 250?

No. The condition now is not representative of the condition then.

Is it a two stroke or four?

Have a careful look at the picture, particularly the exhaust and the relative position of the carburettor you can see, then you tell me.

 

Hell, I'm giving nothing away in the quest for this stump!

[Frenchbob]

Bultaco?

Air cooled, piston port 2 stroke 250?

[Guest Nogbad]

Bultaco?

 

No

I'm not giving clues, but clearly it is so, apart from the capacity, which shall remain for me to know, and for you to find out.
