The guy said it wasn't..

But not a bad trike. Find a junker in your area with a working engine, and you're set.

I think the motor came out of an earlier year 250R. Other than that all the major items are there. I am preparing myself to bend over and pick up a motor on Eslay but for now I'm gonna just look at it for a few days before I start to break it down. The guy also had a milk crate full of little items to go with it which helped. Apparently the seller was renting out a storage unit and the guy didn't pay his rent so eventually the seller was awarded his property inside. I have access to a powdercoating facility so I am planning on bringing this baby back from the dead in a big way. Thanks for the comments.

Sell off that '83-84 motor and put the $$ toward yer project. Looks like a sweet deal, even has nice rims and the rear brake is still there!

There's a guy in chat all the time by the name atc250r looking for an air-cooled R motor if you want to sell it.

Awesome meatbox looks good Id be proud too!!! Not to steal madisons thread but he got a real good deal $177 + the $600 you can buy a running motor for your making out>>>> I just sold an 84 air cooled for 1200 cash w/ needing work!! keep that in mind 250r is always holds the value.
