Runs great



Rode it today runs great, missing turn signals and seats ripped, 4500 miles on it. I can get it for 1000. Is it worth it?

Haven't rode an old bike in a while, this thing was heavy it's a 1972, but man it seemed more fun to ride than a modern bike. I want it pretty bad.

I probably wouldn't go over $600.00 if I really wanted it. Condition is good? Everything works? Runs good? Start at $400.00 and let him beat you up a little.

I don't need a title in Alabama because it's over 35 years old so that's cool.

It's actually a DT2.

1968-1971 DT1
1972 DT2
1973 DT3
1974 DT250A

They were much better bikes than the 1974 DT250's. Better engine, and the bike was about 20 lbs lighter.

I've been looking at these lately (along with the RT versions with the 360 engine). I think it would be cool to ride one on the Trans-America Trail.

Looks good! Go for it!

Yes, so when the plug that has been sparking gets wet and fouled you can switch over to the plug that has not been sparking and is wet and fouled.Smile Always confused me.

Some of the old CZ's had dual coils and plugs.

If one plug is fouled the other one is also.
