What is this bike? Identification help required!

[mc_blue]

Hello all,

I'm a complete bike noob, but was wondering if anyone could help me identify this bike. Don't worry about the recovery technique, it was taken to a breakers yard. Does anyone also know how much something like this would be worth if it could only be broken for spares and not returned to the road?





With kind regards

Amar

GPX250 i think...... and about £40

Just 'Googled' the model number, looks like the same bike. Is it really only worth £40 though?

agreed, it's a GPX250, sold in low numbers in the late '80's when it first appeared. Unfortunatley this was when 2 stroke madness was in full swing for 250's. Apparently not a bad bike, just a bit slow in comparison to the smokers.

maybe worth about £200-400 if it was running and in really good condition - looks like its neither unfortunately....

the bits wont be worth much because (as above) they werent very popular new and theres even less around today....

Looks nice though, and that graduated fade on the side is very 80s/early 90s!
