Highlights

Perfect for long distance off-roading
MOT valid until July 2024 with no advisories
Original and well preserved with a few small battle scars

The Appeal

The lightweight, watercooled TS 250X was a particular favourite amongst off-road riders during the 1980s, favoured for its long distance touring ability and impressive performance from its compact two-stroke engine.

Here we have a smart, original example that was imported from France in 2022. It bears a charming light patina as you’d expect to see on a bike of this nature that’s 35 years old. UK registered since April 2023 and offered with an advisory-free MOT valid until July 2024, this TS 250X is ready to be enjoyed.
