After a let’s-have-a-day-goofing-off visit to an importer with my dad I purchased of a 1988 GJ72A GSXR250 last week. He also bought a bike, so we really failed at our mission! It is a great restoration candidate with just over 6000km since new! It appears to be all stock (except an impromptu hacksaw tail tidy at some point in her past) including the tires! Lots of rubber bits will need replacing. The tires are shot, the front brake is non-functional (master cylinder?) and she doesn’t start easily or idle well. The plan is to get her running with a few restomod touches, but still close to stock. I’m thinking stock powertrain, but I might update details like stainless brakelines, tires, brake pads, and the like.
