lee harris Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Its a minarelli engined fantic 79 - 83. look on the engine case underneath the sprocket. FM250 means it started out as 125cc. FM 350 means it started out as a 156 (called a 200 minarelli!). The 125 had a 24mm dellorto as std. The 156 a 25mm. The barrels can be interchaged although a 156 barrel on a 125 bottom end needs the piston machining HTH Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantic303 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 (edited) Lee is right, it is a fantic 125 or an 200 with a Minarelli engine. If you need more information look at www.fantic.nl Bas Edited November 5, 2006 by fantic303 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1 Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Looking at the brakes that is a 125 the 200 had conicol hubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legs Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Looks like an early 125 as it has black yokes which would have the 32mm forks. A 200 had the brake plate and sprocket on the same side.... www.inmotiontrials.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montaco Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Errrr, isn't that what it was advertised as on the ebay listing?. Not the first time someone has bought a bike and come on the forums to ask what it was, can't really understand that meself!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilco Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 pretty fair question really if you dont know about the way fantic number up there bike's. FM350 but badged up as a 200 but is really a 156cc. He picked up a bargain,how'd that happen that's the question im asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blocky Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Shear luck is the answer and I am well aware of what a bargain it is. On the down side... It is a 3 hour drive each way to go and collect it. I have to say... Its very tempting to take my other bike with me to have a play in that quary where the r2w boys play. Looks like great fun and so different from the riding round my neck of the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
