That is a particularly nice early IT250. It's a shame that the early ITs don't get the love that the later models do. These bikes make great trail/Vinduro machines.

It's alright until you take a sharp corner fast and then those underslung foot pegs scrape on the ground and nearly have you off. Fit E pegs and you might live. Or rear set's

'65 Big Bear for me, first 2 wheeler. It hit just over 92 at 9,200 rpm at Riverside Raceway the following year. Got a few thirds in 250 Production with it.....and and a couple handfuls of crashes.
They sounded so cool when accelerating. A real load moan from the carbs.
Tried a U.K. R3 in 1970, felt a big bike and great to ride, the R5 was more nimble though
Great little bikes

I’ve ridden this bike and it’s even better than described. If you are thinking of buying one, buy this. Starts first kick and revs like a proper setup 2 stroke should. Or just park in your living room and stare at it
Having had 350LC, and a TDR 250 ypvs the difference between the two is one just keeps going and the LC has a 50/50 on road and having work to it to keep it on the road, but when it was on the road it was a great motorbike,...

Ad: 1981 Cagiva RX125 Enduro - How nice (and rare) is this 😍
On eBay here -->> bit.ly/3G4GNeE
Dad here again, European bikes like Cagiva (pronounced like Kageeva) were still running tubular steel swingarms while the big 4 Japanese competitors were using box-section aluminim 6061-T6 aluminum arms. The Euro bikes suffered from instability on heavy whoops and big jumps from rear wobble and a wishy washy feel in the turns over ruts in the track. That was one of the earliest Tricks on production bikes along with air adjustable 38mm forks. Also another Trick out of the box was Kawasaki's electrofusion cylinder. It did an amazing job of keeping the engine heat transferred. I remember how after 5 minutes stopping from hard riding I could place my hand on the cooling fins and not even be hot, whereas the other guys when they tried it would get burnt. It was ingenious but needed a slight modification, the exhaust port bridge needed to be sanded to remove the plating and sn additional millimeter of aluminum because it would swell slightly into the piston and scratch the piston, and sure enough when my KX 250A5 '79 stopped running and I took off the cylinder, there it was. So I made the recommended mod and put in a wiseco piston and rings and it never had a problem, and to boot I polished the ports somewhat and when I was done I had myself a bike that ran next to a YZ 465 in any gear and wheelied in 5th at the top end. I had also bought a pr of FOX dual stage gold anodized Air-Shox and the ride was awesome once I got them tuned in. Even Tommy Provanzano with his Maico 250 '79 who would challenge every bike in the area actually shut his bike down when he watched me tear up the track on practice runs and after a brief chat said, "That bike SCREAMS!". Started his Maico and litterally puttered off home. 🙂 Proud moments!

Lovely bike, I had one in 83, drunk driver hit me and smashed my tibia and fibula, wrecked my bike, insurance paid out and I bought a z1000. Bittersweet memories 👍🏻
Best 250 of it's era rd250 wasn't even in the same class.
Very nice example but prefer the spoked wheels to keep it as 1970s speck
If ever a bike needed spoked wheels it's one !
Iirc the last ones of that model were sold by Gloucester Kawasaki and they were under £500 because they were struggling to get rid of them
Nice but not at that money
what a bike had one back in 80s loved it.
Worst handling bike ever made RD250 pee alover it on handling but mega looking bike

Isn't the quota up on showing this bike this year?

Beautiful. Why can’t bikes be like this anymore. I would love this in my garage.
But delusional on the price
Nice bike, but I've often wondered... Why did the Japanese deem it necessary to put such insanely large tail light assemblies on all their bikes that era? That's the biggest one I've seen yet!

Toughest bike I've ever owned absolutely indestructible. Worst headlight I have ever used and some form of anti lock brakes especially on front. Made in a time when designers were told to make something fun that would bring joy to the owner.
Had the exact same, colour and year bike. Brilliant! Fitting a mud flap to front mudguard to stop being covered from road spray.
Traded in my FS1E for a new TS185 at 17 in 1977, was ok but wished I had gone for the GT185 especially when it was wet. 👍
Best of the breed, light enough to ride without it trying to kill you in the dirt with good tires and just enough power to have fun. Had 2. 125s gutless. 250s and bigger were tanks.
Had one same colour
Is this still available?
Had one of these with a chrome petrol tank! Shit brakes though.
My dad still has his, owned it from almost new in 1976, it's got the chrome mudguards though, hopefully 1 day I'll have it to bring back to its former glory
Had one same year

Great bike, bought one new in 79, had to wait for it to arrive in the country & make it's way to my dealer, Tretheway & Martin in Tiverton. Had great fun ragging the hell out of it until I traded it in for a T140 Bonneville....
Had one of those in red, got tweaked a bit. New exhaust cost more than the bike did (no aftermarket ones, had to be genuine Suzuki item. £75 for the bike, £110 for the exhaust). Most fun I've ever had on a bike.
