I like it, subject to the usual comments about mudguards.

But why is called a grasstracker and not a scrambler or trail bike? A grasstracker looks like a speedway bike but with rudimentary front suspension.

I like that, I also know someone with a TU250 they're not using (it's probably seized solid with rust)

TU engine is a DR250 engine and you could fit a 441cc Wiseco big bore to it

"Fit for purpose"?

I've known two people who've owned TU250s (possibly the same TU250), both are camper than a row of tents.
