Seattle one is the $5500CDN bike for $4400US that is no longer posted in Vancouver. Been for sale a week or two there. He does give a phone # though?

The 250 looks good in WW colours. I don't care for the 250 in blue and white. The minute I bought mine I knew I didn't like it. Our friend up north has done a superb WW restoration on it. That bike I would like to own again. But I'd still stuff a 350 in it :mrgreen:

There aren't many Canadian spec 250s around. Very few brought into the country by Suzuki. Dealers told me they sold multiple 500s for every 250 they managed to sell. The 250 is proof that rarity doesn't determine value.

Silverstrom said in response to "I've been lucky more times than not"
I'm thinking RGV500s ;-)
True, but even luckier than that, is that, as a bonus to that purchase with the roller I got, I ended up with a complete stock RG500 in the end to complete my Canadian spec GP replica Trilogy :razz:
