The Appeal
While Ossa is a lesser seen name in the world of motorcycles, they were revered in period for their capable two-stroke machines, finding success in trials, enduro and motocross in their native Spain and abroad. This 1982 TE250 originates from towards the end of the company’s history. It’s a fun, compact 250 cc bike with great lines and a highly regarded engine.
If you’re looking for an unusual and usable classic motorbike, this makes a lot of sense. With previously restored paintwork and seat upholstery, it’s a very presentable example and the vendor informs us that it runs and rides really well. While its ITV expired two years ago, the bike is road registered in Spain and is complete with its related documentation. We're sure it will be out on the road in no time at all, so don’t hesitate in making this curious Ossa your next acquisition.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
