SUMMARY
One of only eight known surviving examples of the Colleda 250TT and the only one outside of Japan.
DESCRIPTION
- Colleda (Japanese for 'This Is The One') started producing bikes under the pre-Suzuki 'SJK' brand name in 1954 with the Colleda 90
- They manufactured bikes until 1964 and after that were called Suzuki
- The 250TT was undoubtedly the predecessor of the two-stroke, twin-cylinder 250cc range of bikes that would include the Suzuki T20 and GT250
- The NASA/Flash Gordon style of design reflected the space race of that period and the Japanese fascination with all things car and bike from the USA
- This motorcycle is truly rare with the all the other known examples being in either Japanese museums or collections
- Correct numbers and presented in mostly original and unrestored condition
- Forming part of a large Japanese collection for some time so will require recommissioning before use
- Engine turns over with good compression
- Still present with its original and very rare indicator and light lenses
- Complete with original key and Japanese de-registration paperwork with UK import taxes paid
- This is the only known Colleda 250TT outside of Japan
- A genuine piece of Japanese Motorcycle history
