hello, I'm not racing but I do have a question on a vintage trials bike.
I'm looking at buying a 1973 Kawasaki KT250. It's very stock, a beautiful little trials bike. However my experience with all pre-1975 Kawasaki's (street up till now) is that Kawasaki tends to discontinue supplying parts for them. Does anyone know the parts availability for this bike? Like, say if I need a new crank seal some day, am I screwed? Also, I'm not familar with "trials" bikes. I hear they are geared super low in order to climb rocks, stumps, spectators, etc... Does this mean they also redline at 50 mph?
Thanks,-Dana
