the bolt Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Hi Everyone, I'm new here and really writing on behalf of my Dad. My Dad has a pretty mint 1980 250 XT. It runs like a dream and I have ridden it for years myself and my Dad has had it from new apart from when his mate had it for a few years and it came back to him. The only non-original part is the Micron Exhaust he has on it......original gold rims... The works.... It has lived its whole life being kept in the garage so never stored outside. Now my question is to what we do with it. I think my dad has had enough of it and it's time to move on but what is the best place for it to go? What's it worth and is it worth of some showroom or collectors place? Or is it just an old bike that no one is interested in? Personally I'd love to see it go to someone who will look after it for years to come. I'd appreciate your opinions..... Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted April 8, 2012 Moderator Share Posted April 8, 2012 Are you saying that you don't want to pay ebay charges so you thought you would advertise it on here? Put it on ebay 99p start, no reserve and see what it goes for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunblaster Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Post a Photo or 2, that was a bike I wanted to own back in the 80,s but never bought, I,d say it,s collectable. regards Dave... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy10bikes Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Very nice and tempting indeed, you must have an idea of how much you want for it. TTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
