military motorcycle
 
Hi,

I'm looking to buy a military motorcycle, like an Armstrong MT500 or a Kawasaki KLR250 (M1030A2) ... I may also be intrested in a Canam 250 or even a Triumph TRW 500

must be complete, restored or not, registered for the road, and from canadian army only

you can contacted me in private if you want

thanks

Dear Karl,

Great to know other people are looking for the same things I am. The MT500 is a heavier bike compared to the KLR250 which I own. A friend of mine had one but the Phoenix pay scandal forced him to sell it. I considered buying it but really didn't like it and it confirmed my love of the 250cc size machine, which I learned to ride on.

Finding one is like winning the lottery, having bought an imposter in my eagerness to own one I can tell you to buy what you can when you can regardless of how complete it is, parts do turn up.

I treasure my bike and every ride I get on it, it is expensive as far as the insurance goes.

If you get a KLR I have all the details of where the special parts came from.

Good luck with your search, you might find you are not alone, there is someone on kijiji with a standing advert looking for a Can-Am, no it isnt me.

Hi Robin,

thanks for the reply !

really interresting, I will tell you if I find one ... I already owned a MT500 but it was a big project (no engine and many missing parts), so I sold it

I need something that already works, no time for a restoration

if you see something, please tell me !!

thank you
