It was always inevitable that I would end up with another bike but I wasn't expecting it to be so old. 

So hi I'm Chris. This is my third Yamaha and I hope it'll be my favourite. 

I've taken a punt on a 79 XS250 which doesn't start so you'll be hearing from me pretty sharpish to get myself back on the road.

Thanks for the replies. First things first I need to get it running. 

Apparently the engines been rebuilt so maybe I'll have trouble free motoring...maybe.

That's a very nice bike. I too want wire wheels. 

I'll see what this 250 engine is all about first I think. 

Are they fairly reliable? I've heard they're a bit gutless, but that I can live with.
