Description

Additional photos of this are available here for your perusal.

Rickman Motorcycles was an excellent example of win on Sunday, sell on Monday. Their frame designs got the most out of big British four-stroke motors, and it translated to impressive off-road victories (including at the 1959 Motocross des Nations).

Wanting to expand the lineup to include smaller two-stroke powerplants, the Rickman brothers partnered with companies like Bultaco, Zundapp, Hodaka, and Montesa – the last of which provided 250cc engines typically found in the Cappra VR.

This example is Frame #: 1562. The seller acquired it five years ago.

True mileage is unknown.

Maintenance:
The seller notes that the engine has a fresh top end.

Modifications:
This Rickman is completely stock.

Cosmetic Blemishes: please see the album up top for all known cosmetic blemishes. Here is a selection:






Inside of the tank:

It is riding on Dunlop Sports (front) and Avon New Gripster (rear) tires.

Currently located in San Juan Capistrano (please make an appointment for an inspection), this Rickman is offered on a Bill of Sale only. Have any Montesa 250 stories or questions about this listing? Let us know in the “Comments” tab!
