Sadly they don't make 250's like they used to....if it was one of these old 90s relics, he'd have given you more a run for your moneyBring back the 2 strokes I say, emissions be damned!

I had a '67 Suzuki X-6 Hustler. 10-1 PWR. It could beat any stock GTI today. I did get killed by the Honda 450's. And I didn't believe in this, "I beat this or that" unless both vehicles were bone stock or in the same class. Racing from a punch was for pussies. If you couldn't race "out of the hole", like a man (or woman if you were the rare female racer), you didn't know how to drive. We didn't have fast AWD cars then, or even FWD. It took skill to drive well. The sport has really devolved since then. Sure, my R would beat everything I owned then, including my big-block T/A and 'Vette, but those heavy-duty 4-speed trannies and 12" clutches were a lot more fun to drive. What do we have today? Little 121 ci engines, cable-operated manual transmissions, and hydraulic clutches. Sigh.
