View Full Version : Does anyone know of any 85 or 86 250r's for sale?
Hello. I am looking for my first 250r. I live in Rochester NY. Does anyone know of any 85 or 86 250r's for sale within a few hour drive? I have $1000 max to spend right now. This is the very high end of what I can spend. I do not mind one that needs some work. I can beg MIK6 for help with this project. I will have a little more money when tax returns come back, but would only go higher on the right machine. I like the r as stock as possible, like they came from Honda. I cannot see the classifieds for a while, so I would appreciate any help you could offer. Thank you.

Craigslist is your best bet for right now. I havent checked the classifieds for a little while though

Yes, I have been searching craigslist. I did find one advertised as an 85 yesterday that is a few hours from me. I had had him send pictures and it was air cooled. Looked like an 83 or 84 to me. The guy really believes it is an 85. It clearly is not. If anyone finds one, please let me know. Thank you for responding.

Thank you for responding. I have been searching craigslist. The prices are scary on ebay. That 310r looks amazing. That has to be a fun machine.

Thanks man! And ebay will be hard to find a deal on. We have driven well over three hours to get bikes we wanted over the last decade; just have to be willing to get in the truck and drive lol. I got a speeding ticket driving to go pick up my 85 250sx back in 2003 lol nothing like being excited to get a new bike
Check craigslist daily, when deals come up people jump on them and the listings disapear lol. If you want a water cooled bike dont settle for an air cooler, the couple hundred you save isnt worth it
We will find you something tom!! Ya never know what will pop up here.. and remember i can bring it back from TF13 for ya if its from 3ww!

If you can't find anything by TF I have a rough chassis project I would let go cheap. Like maybe 100-200$ or less depending on what all is there. You will still need a ton of parts to finish the build and Mik6 will have to make a stop in Ohio to pick it up.

Absolutely bud
I found a 1985 250r. Mike was heading out to pick it up and the guy changed the story. It had no spark and would not run, but he didn't want to decrease the price. Mike found a second one that ended up being nicer and right down the road from him. He picked it up about an hour ago. I finally have a 250r! It is dirty but should clean up nice!

looks like a nice R.
Congratulations on the R tom!!
She runs strong, its an awesome rider! It will need a few parts to make it 100% but not much at all. I cant believe that the parking brake is still on it and that it works! Lol Rear shock is good too, no cracks, no extra welds.. nice trike!
It was leaking gas from the petcock, fixed that and got a grab bar on. It came w fork seals, and boots, will need that soon.
So far Its going to need a switch, front tire (its a little dry rot), case saver, skid plate, front tank bolt, silencer hanger, airbox cover... it might need a swinger bolt, not sure yet. The list makes it look like it needs alot, but it doesnt..lol

kevink,
Thanks I look forward to many hours on it. I am trying to be patient because I will not get to see it for a while. My brother has it. He made the same offer to buy it!
Hmmmm.. 250R!
I still got green blood.. but I think the Z will go if I can find a R!
MIK6/ Mike
Mike,
I found that Kawasaki for you today and offered to get it for you! That thing is mint! I expected you to call me about it today, or was it sold?
Im trying to behave. lol
Id like a prairie250.. but I dont need it.. lmao
I really want to grab that barnfind 350x asap.. then I know where a 90% complete tecate 500 project is sitting.. a prairie250 is WAY down on the list rite now.. lol
MIK6/ Mike
Hmmmm.. 250R!

Keep the Z!!! It is cool seeing the Tecate, Tri Z and 250r all sitting in your garage. (Add the Polaris 250 2 stroke that you have and you have most of the 3 wheeler two stroke 250's made!) I think you need a Tiger next!!!!

tommy boy, Yes, that is a long drive for me. I did that drive already. I lived in Ventura county for a few years. I left because of the housing market going crazy. I took many flights from Burbank to Vegas over the years! I have an r now, so I am happy. Now I need a few parts.
