    ....that I thought it was worth flagging up here.

    Ebay item 270285547144

    I've never seen anything like this. Sounds like a near competition spec
    bike, but it would be a whole lot better with a different engine in it.

    Seems Fantic take the Yamaha engine to comply with Euro 3 regs. I imagine
    getting type approval for their own engine is prohibitively expensive.

    I like that, I like it a lot. But I'm sure I'd get bored and want a
    250+cc 2-stroke within a week or so

    A 250cc 2-stroke Fantic? Are you mad?

    Golly, that would be mad.

    OK a 250+cc Yamaha 2-stroke. That better?

    Much. I quite like being possibly the only person on the planet with a
    250 2T Fantic enduro bike, so if you got one I might have to kill you.

    p.s. get a Gas Gas instead.

    My thoughts exactly. A fabulous chassis with a weedy engine in it: not
    right.

    Perfect for a learner though. Or even those "nip to the shop" trips.
