![]() The gas tank has ~ 5 small rust spots by the gas cap & one minor dent at the tip of the seat that’s hard to see. Very nice front fairing condition w/ just a scratch, hard to find engine cowling is complete… there is a 5″ hairline crack on the underside w/ some glue showing. Seat w/ no tears or rips & the passenger strap is still thereĪll the turn signals, horn, headlight, kill switch, kick stand switch, instrument lights and gauges are in good working order. ![]() I’d say an 8.95 out-of-10 ?įront & rear tires & tubes 4 1/2 years new… plenty of tread It’s not perfect, but very nice & I’ve only seen a few bikes in as good a condition, some in Japan. I am selling as I still have two other SRX250s and also want to enjoy other toys. It shifts in to all 6 gears smoothly and with ease. The engine revs to or above redline to 10Krpm in 1st, 2nd & 3rd without a hiccup or miss. It suits the vertically challenged and those who like to show up bigger bikes, well at least on some downhill curves. It is a nice, smooth riding sport bike that offers great value in performance and economy. I’ve owned and ridden this bike sparingly the past 6 years. The speedometer has been replaced w/ one that shows 15,400. An additional downside is that it is very difficult to find one in decent condition as these were inexpensive newbie and commuter bikes, they were rarely well taken care of (garaged, serviced, etc.). Downsides: Hard to find, hard to obtain parts. The upsides: the fan base for these bikes is fairly rabid, and they continue to look unique and like a much larger bike than the 250cc engine belies. That makes it rare and unique…which has upsides and downsides. A lightweight and willing performer, the SRX was a one hit wonder – it was gone from the US lineup the following year. Powered by an air cooled single cylinder with 4 valves, the SRX was Yamaha’s answer to the 250 Ninja. If you are looking for a rare, 250cc sportbike that you can fill up with the same swill that you save for your lawnmower, this little SRX just might be the ticket. Well, I am here to tell you that is simply not true! Sure, we here here at RSBFS love to mix oil with gas as much as the next guy, but there are times when that is simply not very convenient. With all of the grey market two strokes on these pages, you would think that there is no love for the lowly otto-cycle engine.
