Cheers,

Hi Guys, After a short break away from bikes (35 years!) I am now the proud owner of a 5th/85 RZ250R which could best be described as a basket case! To be precise most of it is contained in a milk crate. The motor is seized soid so I am chasing a complete one along with a key and ignition switch. I'...
