The T250-II is the last evolution of the Hustler, with a teardrop fuel tank, revised forks, separate instruments, an upswept chain guard and a cranked kick-start lever. Its CCI automatic oiling recycled two-stroke oil and cut smoke at low speed. Looks varied by market, and in Japan it was known as the Mk3.
