You should state if it has US paperwork or a state title/reg. With that UK plate hanging on there the assumption would be that it does not.
I would also mention that it's a 250cc 2-stroke and that it has an oil injection pump (if it's still intact and operational).
Also, the mileage statement of "25000" is kilometers, correct? You should also state that, and I would include a close up photo of the speedometer as well. I had to open the image in a new tab and zoom in to see the odometer clearly, looks like 25963 km (16133 mi).
Yeah, I 100% agree with Russ.
Your ad copy reads like you don't know or care much.
Yo wanna make some money, you gotta make someone WANT it.
I will adjust the listing per the above comments.
Yes, I put it together real fast, and threw it on there
Correct me if I am wrong but that is a MPH speedo and the mileage is 25,963 miles not kilometers.
Yes.
UK had MPH
Did it sell? If not, Bring a Trailer would be where I'd list it.

Waiting to see what happens on Ebay.
Most of these end up with the Winner hightailing it.

I agree with Evans 100%
BaT is def the place for a bike like this. A "no reserve" auction is only $99 and almost certainly waay less than you'll pay in eBay fees.
They manage the bidding, are a forum for discussion on the bike and auction, and will facilitate shipping if you so choose.
I had a fantastic experience with BaT, and can't imagine selling a high quality rare motorcycle any other way.
Yep.
I was thinking of that more & more, since the auction was up.
I was a little leery, as some of the comments there, start to pick apart the bike.
As this bike will need the standard maintenance done to it.
I pretty much just cleaned it up, replaced fluids, and such.
Gas tank needs correct graphics too
I may wait till Sunday, to see what happens, as Ebay allows cancellation up to 12 hours prior.
I have it for sale elsewhere as well
Thanks for all the input.
Maybe I will be convinced to just keep it.

I'm no authority on this, and I apologize if I come across as critical.
I just agonized over this for months prior to selling my LC. I now know the sales pitch and pics are everything in a sale like this.
I had over 100 pics and 2 YouTube vids in my ad, and even that didn't seem like enough. You really want the buyer to fall in love with the bike, and be confident in what they are bidding on. They need to feel they can dig deep and know exactly what they're getting.
Here's my BaT listing when I sold my LC a few months ago. It went to a UK expat in Tampa FL. Exactly the buyer I needed to drive up the price.

Send me his contact info.
I am 30 minutes from Tampa.
Or send him my info.
What you said is Spot on, too.

Sorry, not gonna share my buyers info, but ... here's a great local CL ad that checks all the right boxes.
