This 1978 Harley-Davidson MX-250 was assembled and refurbished in 2020 by its prior owner, Lee McCollum, former 30-year Team Suzuki mechanic and “lifer,” who utilized parts acquired while restoring two identical bikes along with a 1978 frame. It was sold on BaT in September 2024, and acquired by its current owner in 2026. Finished in orange with black and white graphics, power comes from a 243cc two-stroke single paired with a five-speed transmission. Equipment includes a kick starter, a Dell’Orto carburetor, an expansion-chamber exhaust system, a black vinyl solo seat, a chrome cross-braced handlebar, composite high-mounted fenders, and wire-spoke wheels with Akront alloy rims. This MX-250 is now offered at no reserve in Wisconsin for off-road use only with McCollum correspondence, a center stand, two owners’ manuals, two parts catalogs, and a bill of sale.

The bike was refinished in orange with black and white graphics under prior ownership. Additional details include a black vinyl seat, a leather strap and buckle on the 2.2-gallon fuel tank, and serrated folding foot pegs. The seller notes the front number plate was damaged in transport, as shown in the photos, and one side number plate carries the number 1. The bike is not equipped with a deployable side stand, and the center stand in the photos is included in the sale.

Both high-mounted fenders carry the embossed Harley-Davidson Bar and Shield logo.

Wire-spoke wheels with 21″ front and 18″ rear Akront alloy rims are laced to drum brake hubs and mounted with knobby Cheng Shin tires. Suspension consists of a leading-axle fork in addition to a pair of remote-reservoir shocks connected to the swingarm.

The chrome cross-braced handlebar carries orange grips and bright levers with orange lever perches. No instrumentation is equipped, therefore total mileage is unknown.

The 243cc two-stroke single is equipped with a kick starter, a Dell’Orto carburetor, and a black-finished upswept expansion-chamber exhaust system that exits through the frame high on the left side of the bike.

The rear wheel is driven via a five-speed transmission and a drive chain with a lower tensioner.

The sale includes two owner’s manuals and two parts catalogs. Correspondence between the seller and McCollum about the bike is shown at the end of the gallery.
