## Description
As the title states, this is a motorcycle currently stored in a garage.  

We have serviced and finished it so that it can be ridden comfortably and safely with a wild atmosphere in the city!  
Used for shopping and short touring, I regularly run it to maintain its condition.

I think this TR is impressively well put together, rugged, and very stylish. It’s a fully customized 250TR in a genuine scrambler/tracker style, which is popular on the street.

**Custom Points of This Vehicle**  
- The exhaust pipe is a high-mount original from a custom shop, possibly a discontinued item, featuring a heat guard and thermal wrapping, making the distinctive "up exhaust" a key feature.  
- The tires have been changed to an off-road block pattern, and the front fender has been intentionally removed for a more rugged look.  
- The lighting has been converted from a large genuine headlight to a small matte black LED projector headlight.  
- The tank is painted matte black with both sides having been reshaped, and the seat has been replaced with a slim "tuck roll seat". The rear is neat as well.  
- The handlebars are wide vintage motocross-style with fork boots, highlighting a retro yet tough look.

**Attraction of the 250TR**  
Originally designed as a trail bike from the 1970s, the 250TR has excellent compatibility with these types of customizations that evoke a "smell of the earth." The lightweight frame and low seat height make it easy to handle on narrow roads in urban areas or during light trail tours.

- **Engine** starts with one touch of the start button.  
- At cold start, pull the choke, and it starts easily; once warmed up, idling is stable, and it accelerates smoothly from low to high RPM without excess noise.  

Since purchasing the used base, I can recall the maintenance I’ve done, including:  
- Replacing engine oil and oil filter, air cleaner replacement, battery replacement, spark plug replacement, carburetor overhaul, upper and lower stem bearing dust seal replacement, fork overhauls on both sides, clutch overhaul, clutch lever shaft oil seal replacement, starter overhaul, starter relay replacement, and brake maintenance including fluid change, exhaust wrapping, etc.  

I welcome you to visit and test ride this bike in Kohuku, Yokohama! (For test ride security, a deposit of 30,000 yen will be collected and a photo of your driver's license required.)

The bike is easy to maneuver and has comfortable handling; it would be perfect for casual touring or for shorter riders.

**VIN**

According to the site, it appears to be a model from 2002.
