Got these two today today just 5 miles from my house. They are brothers that were sold together from a local dealership and I just couldn't separate them. Original bill of sale and repair manuals too. Both have been sitting and not currently running. Everything looks good other than carb cleaned and the usual. Both have original plastic, seat, and full racks (not on currently). Very happy with the purchase and the wife didn't hassle me much even though the garage is full with a tecate and big red.146424146425

I don't want to brag on price, but I think I did alright at $425 for both.

You got them at a steal, and I think you should be able to get them running fairly easy.

Sweet pick! Most want that much or more for just 1 looking that good cosmetically.

I appreciate all the positive comments. I've been watching craigslist like a hawk lately. The guy I bought them from wanted $600 and I was able to talk him down even though he only had them for sale for an hour. I'll get them running and will update when I do.

Finally got to start on these today. Got the 200 running great. No gas or oil in it...not sure why. Put both in, cleaned carb (not bad at all), charged battery and fired like a dream!
Started in on the 225; cleaned carb twice but still idles too low to keep it running without playing with throttle. I've tried adjusting the fuel/air screw and the jet on the bottom of the carb...am I missing something? I now plan to review the manual for a while... Has fresh gas, new fuel lines, and new spark plug.

Got them both running like champs, had fun for a month, then sold them... They went to a guy and his 15 year old son. Couldn't be happier with who got them, so I hope they enjoy!
