hop blip and a jump Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I've been offered an old Suzuki rl 250 by a friend, it's been sitting in a barn for 17 years!!!!! yes it actually has been in a barn for that long!!! i don't want it as a serious competitive trialer just a bike that'll do it all if i want? It wants a resto really, but it runs fine it was started last week for the first time since it was parked up by the farmer.. i'm trying to find out what its worth? Its the old red and silver RL it still has all the lights and switches but the headlight looks like it seen a bit of action, the lamp is ok but the cover is all bent, he's even got the original log book off the farmer! 1 owner from new, just the farmer..! It is a bit of a scruffy beast but has got the makings off being a nice bike again. it's on a 'T' reg registered but is probably a slightly older model sold on later..??? Help me value it before i pay to much??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee harris Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 If its been sitting that long you need tyres and tubes. probably shocks and chainset. maybe crankseals. If its straight, check headstock, I would pay 400-500 quid. If its less, go for it! L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
