Blooming heck! That is steep. Out of interest, what would be a more accurate value?

Aye tim,

What somebody will pay for a 3 wheel "stink wheel"!   :-\  I have owned, ridden and enjoyed 2strokes, including exGPO Banties, nothing personal!   ;)

For me, £750, but "Hey!" it takes all sorts to make the world spin.  :)

Slainte, Bill

I find the whole subject of what a bike is worth, fascinating. I usually have a pretty good idea, but I'm always learning. Its particularly interesting at the minute as I've done a couple of autojumbles recently, and also im in the process of selling a couple of bikes. One sold already for a good bit more than I expected, and the other ,which I feel is well worth what I'm asking, and not a single call  :-\
Namaste

Hard to say, it only looks to be in average condition. A nice tidy MZ TS250 is probably £750-800 ish , with a chair maybe £1200-1500?  That one only looks maybe £800-£1000 tops I would think though I'm a bit out of the loop on MZ prices but £3k+ is well over the top.

MZ are great bikes and they make a good outfit and they are increasing in value, especially the older models but not to that extent.

I think your valuations are spot on Steve. This guys obviously just another ebay chancer. I've got more chance of winning the lottery than he's got of selling at that price, and I don't do the lottery!

Ah, but it is the special and very rare touring model with legshields and screen - that must make it worth the asking price.......

If you don`t ask, you don`t get  :o  ;D I agree, I would guess about 12-1500 since it has the chair  :-\
