I purchased this 1981 GS250T from the 2nd owner on Oct. 15, 1993, mileage at time of purchase 1556 (2490 km). It was basically in good condition, just suffering from neglect and needing a thorough cleaning more than anything else. The GS250 has been ridden numerous times from Denver, Colorado to elevations of over 12000ft (3658 meters) in the Colorado Rocky Mountains and has completed a number of trips over Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, the highest continuous paved road in North America. N40 25 57.85 W105 46 06.35 ? LAT 40.432736 LON -105.768430 ![]() It is pictured above on one of those trips through Rocky Mountain National Park, at an approximate elevation of 11980ft (3652 meters). Wooden poles at the corner of the parking lot and alongside the road serve as markers for snowplow operators as the road is cleared of snow each spring.
Trail Ridge Road is highly recommended for an enjoyable ride with outstanding alpine scenery. I invite you to click Rocky Mountain National Park on the Links page to learn more about the U.S. National Park Service and Rocky Mountain National Park. Another enjoyable ride with fine alpine views is the Mount Evans road west of Denver. Paved in its entirety and seldom busy, the GS250T has completed a number of trips up this mountain, the most recent of which was June, 2008. Despite the elevation, the 250T climbs up to the over 14,100ft (4298 meter) summit without problem. The engine's stamina and willingness to run is amazing. For more information and a photographic essay of the breathtaking ride up Mount Evans visit my Mount Evans Ride pages. A nice running twin-cylinder machine offering an exceedingly durable and reliable counterbalanced engine with a 6 speed transmission, the GS250 is currently one of my "riders" with a mileage figure of around 14100 (22701 km). Here are 3 nice images of it from rides in August and October 2005. It's pictured at and near Echo Lake, Colorado, elevation 10597 ft (3232 meters). The pics below are from recent rides on the GS250T. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Below is a view on Colorado Route 5. ![]() Replaced by the GS300L for model year 1982, the 1981 models were the last GS250Ts offered for sale in the U.S. As with other machines in the collection, the GS250T is only offered for sale via the terms and conditions detailed on my Q&A Page and associated Selling Page. |
