September 13, 200916 yr I've found a txt270 contact for sale, looking through the museum I think its 1998-99 but am not sure. The engine is painted red as on earlier JTX, someone could have painted it though... Firstly - Are they any good. - How is the power delivery Availability of parts, I have a 96 scorpa and this guy will part x, I think for little cash... Is the gasser any better than the scorpa, I am aware that on a gasser forum I can predict the answer to this but Ive been told you are an honest bunch..... Thanks, Andy.
September 16, 200916 yr Hi Andy, The old 270 was ok in its day, a bit more go than the 250 though I think the 250 was an easier bike to ride with a more linear power delivery. Check in the UK for parts availablilty, getting old now. It would be a lot lighter than your Scorpa and probably more competetive. Check for worn linkage bearings, dragging clutch (plates swollen or master/slave seals leaking), leaking fork seals, motor does not usually rattle, otherwise all ok. Bye, PeterB.
