Husqvarna WR250 - SV650.org

DarrenSV650S · 26-11-06, 12:35 PM

Ok I know this isn't SV related but it is bike related and I could do with some advice :P
I'm looking for a trials bike for light offroad green laning and going on the beach. I have seen a '88 husqvarna wr250 on a local forum going for about £750. It has been advertised since March so might be able to haggle it down a bit, but I'm not really sure if this is still a good deal and what these bikes are like to ride

So if you've had any experience or have any advice please don't be shy

It looks rubbish, don't touch it with a stick.
Where did you say it was advertised again ?

Is it snowing?

I think it's the effect of the flash on raindrops.

Yeah thats what I thought. Think it must have been off road because it's not road legal, but it must have been just light stuff, cos as you say its in good nick

Here in Sweden you often see old Husqvarnas almost given away because of broken ignition systems which are extremely hard to get spare parts for... If i remember right the only solution is to buy a complete aftermarket ignition system, which is EXPENSIVE, so make sure it works ok before yu buy.
