1975 Can-Am TNT 250
Our first Can-Am showcase bike comes from Bruno Picard of Drummondville, Quebec, Canada. It is a 1975 Can-Am TNT 250 dual purpose machine.
Here’s my 1975 Can-Am TNT 250. This Can-Am is street legal. Only 2500 of these bikes like this one were made. Today it is very rare to see one of these running!
The 1975 Can-Am TNT 250 has a left side kick starter and gear shifter. The kickstand was on the right side, due to the large left side exhaust pipe that wraps under the bike.
