Info: Yes i know I said I didnt have any free time when I sold the GS250,,,,but I lasted a few weeks and she looked soooo pretty. OK did her up for the kids to do "L" plates on,,,but they didnt think "old school" is cool so she had to go. Angelo brought her, a nice young fella who wanted a cafe racer.
