Many
years ago I used to own a beat up old Suzuki GT250 X7. It had passed through
the hands of many of my friends, and had been crashed a good few times. By the
time I got my hands on it it lacked mirrors and indicators, had a jury-rigged electrical system operated by
some toggle switches under the seat, expansion chambers and K & N filters instead
of an airbox, and was painted a rather lurid green colour. Unfortunately I don’t
have any photos of it.
But,
boy did it shift. However, after yet another crash it was eventually given to
another friend for nothing as I didn’t have the space to store it.
I recently
briefly toyed with the idea of getting another one, but it has become a bit of
a cult classic with reasonable ones selling for between 1500 and 2000. This is
more than I want to part with for the sake of nostalgia.
There is even a decent owners club for them.
