Very nice.. Looks like a survivor for sure.. All of the Quadracers around here are beat, or in boxes..

Nice, I always wanted a Zilla myself. The 250's were fun to ride, can't believe how nice that one is.

The more I think about it its tuff to find a nice clean original one. My 2 250R's are very nice originals. Its hard nowadays to fine a atv here a year old that's in the condition of my 3 wheelers

Very nice.

Do they use the same rear caliper as all the Hondas? Sure looks familiar.

Super nice 'Racer. I have always liked those. Probably my 2nd favorite old-school quad besides the Honda 250R (which I now finally own!)

I had one exactly like it in 1987 and when this one popped up I decided I had to have it. It was not armor alled for pics, it has super low hours. The original owner , who I just bought this machine from, said he used it as kind of an overgrown pitbike in the late 80's when his son was racing motocross, then moved to a big city and parke it...for over 20 years

That's one CLEAN ol' Q'Racer! Nice score!

I remember back in the early '90s when I was a teenager 'Zuki was my favorite brand and I wanted a Q'Racer in the WORST way. A few years later I discovered Honda and 'Zuki was vanquished to 2nd place on my list. I still have 3 'Zukis today. They were/are nice machines. Still wouldn't mind getting my hands on a nice 'Zilla someday.....

nope, not the same one. I had bid on the ebay q-racer a few times half heartedly (it was maybe 400 miles from me) and the ebay machine certainly lit my fire a bit.

I think 99 percent of them ANYWHERE are beat or in boxes. Particularly first generation models, which is what i wanted. I have been on the hunt for years and can tell you that for every nice 85-86 quadracer that pops up, a hundred mint Honda 250R's pop up. I honestly think it is easier to find a nice original tecate-3 than it is an early lt250r in original shape. They did not exactly stand the test of time as well as some

Wow, I like this! You can find Mint 250R's from time to time but that LT250 in that condition is a rare breed! Post more pics of it if you can. Nice score!! I've been hot lately to add an old school Suzuki Quadracer to my collection.

awsome!! i love the early models. never liked the weird looking seat on the later ones!! My best freind bought one when we were like 14-15, needless to say we rode it like we stole it!! as did every other kid in the neighborhood!! it lasted maybe 2 yrs!!
