Item no 221124194706

Up for auction is a 1974 MZ TS 250. The bike is equipped with an original German MZ 301 engine with oil injection. The bike also has a Mikuni carberator and electronic 12-Volt ignition. The frame, the front fork, front headlight, and rear shocks are original MZ 500 parts. All the bikes parts are 100% original, authentic German parts. I have dedicated years of my life in restoring this bike to original condition and making the best bike it can be.

Original condition? Nice looking bike anyway!

Is the supposed year of the bike something to do with registering it in some states Dave? I an also into 2CVs and on a yahoo group some American posters enjoy posting details of misregistered 2CVs ( ie tags are from a much older machine)

PM SENT

on the 2cv the DMV here can do that for you automatically...as they screw up every piece of paperwork you send them..
if you bring a bike to the usa do register it in some other state for a few months
before trying to get the title transferred to WEST VIRGINIA
getting the rt125's papers in order was a farce of the first order

Out of curiosity, how come the bike is on the american EBay and your profile says you are in the UK. Nice bike and would be interested if it was in the UK

Cos its not my bike! Happened to be looking on the American site and thought I'd link to it in case there's one of the American forum members who has $6,800 burning a hole in their pocket!
