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.

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.
