November 4, 200619 yr I've just bought this off ebay. Can anyone tell me what it is please and suggest any websites where I can get more info please. I've bought it as a project and i'm looking forward to doing it up and riding it. Click here
November 4, 200619 yr Its a minarelli engined fantic 79 - 83. look on the engine case underneath the sprocket. FM250 means it started out as 125cc. FM 350 means it started out as a 156 (called a 200 minarelli!). The 125 had a 24mm dellorto as std. The 156 a 25mm. The barrels can be interchaged although a 156 barrel on a 125 bottom end needs the piston machining HTH Lee
November 5, 200619 yr Lee is right, it is a fantic 125 or an 200 with a Minarelli engine. If you need more information look at www.fantic.nl Bas Edited November 5, 200619 yr by fantic303
November 6, 200619 yr Looks like an early 125 as it has black yokes which would have the 32mm forks. A 200 had the brake plate and sprocket on the same side.... www.inmotiontrials.com
November 6, 200619 yr Errrr, isn't that what it was advertised as on the ebay listing?. Not the first time someone has bought a bike and come on the forums to ask what it was, can't really understand that meself!.
November 6, 200619 yr pretty fair question really if you dont know about the way fantic number up there bike's. FM350 but badged up as a 200 but is really a 156cc. He picked up a bargain,how'd that happen that's the question im asking.
November 7, 200619 yr Author Shear luck is the answer and I am well aware of what a bargain it is. On the down side... It is a 3 hour drive each way to go and collect it. I have to say... Its very tempting to take my other bike with me to have a play in that quary where the r2w boys play. Looks like great fun and so different from the riding round my neck of the woods.
