    Unbelievable, I found a 1990 gsxr250 to finish the small collection I have.

    1988 mc19
    1993 mc22
    1989 fzr250
    1993 zxr250
    and now a 1990 gsxr250.

    Its rough but I love it. I'm going to need help with this one lads.

    I'm due to take delivery any minute, I'll look not over and send some more images.
    I don't think it will be pretty.
    My FZR is in a similar state but the others are now near.y finished.
    MC19 immaculate, Mc22 close to immaculate, ZXR just needs plastic painted.

    Here it is, in its full glory.
    Had a quick look over it and its amazingly complete.
    The only bits that I need source obviously on the surface are Seats, left rear body work, screens and mirrors.

    I will do the rubber components as I restore it but over all very happy.
    even the switch gear are in good clean condition.
    The clocks say 13000km. The discs are factory and hardly used, oil is golden, coolant still green.
    It was clearly a well looked after bike at some point as the paint work has had money spent on it and the wheels have polished rims.

    overall, score!!

    Nice! Not only does it have 4 pot caliper front brakes and a twin piston on the rear, but the rear brake is fully floating. I think I will add one of these to my wish list too. This is a GJ73 right?

    Took me a long time to find one even close to complete.
