a mother's patience finally wore out and a son had to sell his bike. missing the header, has some surface rust, some evidence of a having been ridden hard and put away wet, and i'm not sure if i'm going to try and fix it up or piece it out.... but can't lose either way.

Your one lucky fella. Wonder if it was from the install of the wrong filter. Gerry

Late model parts bike and sweet running early bike make for for some pretty cool parts swapping possibilities...

this is kinda what i was thinking... but first i want to see what it would take to fix it. then the wild card: my wife, who 1st balked at buying another bike, looked at it and mentioned "what if we keep it for me?"



oh no?!?

HUGE score! great find!

By the looks of things; I'm betting that engine will need a complete tear down. I hope not; but a good buy never the less.

Nice grab, time for a TW 225?

Congratulations Joe!



I saw that posting and would have jumped on it if I didn't already have 8 bikes and no more room. Glad to see it went to a fellow forum member.

I think it looks like an 06...................... It appears to be blue, not gray/silver like the 05s. OMM.

yep, you are correct. even the title says '06 first sold in 07. go figure.

the kid put 11,100 miles on it in 5 yrs, and really beat it hard. that said, i'm happy with the purchase.

DANG! How did I miss it? Congrats. As long as there is oil in the crankcase I bet the fix will be easy.
