1988 Restoration project. For Sale

Hi everyone.

About eighteen months ago I found my old Suzuki GSXR250RR (SP) in the back garden of the chap I sold her to twelve years ago. Someone (he but would you admit it?) stuffed the exhaust and ports with leak fix instead of repairing it properly and blew the head gasket. As part of the deal getting my bike back I supplied a head gasket set and that was replaced.
Literally the head gasket. I would have stripped the head, cleaned the valves and polished the ports if I did it myself and regret letting him do it.

When I got the engine back I was so disappointed with the job I haven't done any more to her since.

I'm about to turn forty, start a new career and as much as I loved my bike back in the day the thought of screaming around on basically a race bike with lights does not sound as appealing nowadays.

I'm not giving the old girl away, I appreciate parts are hard to come by and she is one heck of a project but fully restored she's worth at least £3, 000

So £500

I'm located near King's Lynn, just off the A17
