Just Picked this Up

[Milan]

75 RD250 with 3300 miles.
Never seen one for sale lately, in good shape, low miles.
100% original


PO said he rode it monthly, and bought from an old man at a service station.
It was in the lobby for show.

I have not done much research on the operation of this. But the key has 3 positions.
What does the far clockwise one do.?

I will refurbish a bit, then Sunday ride it, or put it up for sale again.

far one is' park', just powers the tail light.

[Evans Ward]

Wow- that one is nice!  Looks showroom fresh. 

[TNWillie]

What a score!
Congratulations!

[Milan]

Pictures make it look good.
A lot of little things to work on tho.

It was hard to price it also, as hardly any are
listed for sale
Engine sounds a lot different than the Daytona.

Its cold south oc tampa these next few days.
So will ride it this weekend.

How many of the forum have the 250?

Is it a keeper?
Or a refurbish and pass on'er

ive had one. 75 is the best year for 2 reasons: disc brake and best paint.

as far as im concerned the daytonas are turd motor wise, especially stock. so yeah the 250 will sound different for sure.

I have 13 bikes, so i say keep it. If its about the money for you, sell it.  No idea/comment on price as i don't buy nice bikes.

[Milan]

Sorry.
Forgot to mention it is a Canadian Daytona.
No emmisions & CDI.

Mines a 75 "250", though the 250 cylinders are off to the races with a forum member somewhere. Just had fresh paint, powder coated frame, and a new dash is in the works for install. But, here's before the oil pump pin fell out and I disassembled it again lol.
