This one-of-a-kind bike started its life as a GS250T, a typical pseudo-cruiser UJM...a nice bike, but pretty boring, so it was torn down and turned into a scrambler.

The bike's got 10K miles, but there's only 130 miles on the customization. The engine is stock except for the pod air filters and shorty mufflers. It's not overly loud, but it has a nice bark and sounds great.

The parallel twin 250cc engine was pretty high tech in its day, using the TSCC technology developed for the big GS's. It makes about 26 HP and revs really nicely. It's not the fastest thing on the road, but it is a blast to ride. It has a 6-speed tranny so it can hit highway speeds.

Components (lights, handlebar, gauges, gaiters, etc.) were selected to compliment the scrambler design. The line of the gas tank and seat has been straightened to give it a classic desert sled look.

Aside from the red stripe, the gas tank is unpainted metal with urethane clear coat. It's a cool effect that can't truly be appreciated in the pics. The side covers are silver metallic with the red stripe.

This bike is in beautiful condition, fully serviced and ready to ride. All fluids have been changed, bearings cleaned and lubricated, valve clearances checked, brake caliper rebuilt, brake line replaced with a stainless steel one, new tires, etc.

The bike is available for local pickup, but if you arrange and pay for shipping I will be happy to assist.

Please ask questions if interested.
