Long Story and I wont bore you in its entirety but Ive wanted a red/white TRX since my friend had a new one back in 86 when we were both 15 years old (His Parents bought him one off the showroom floor back then and I had my 83 RM80 :( . Well 20 years later I get mine....This is a really low hour machine..I have a mint stock exhaust for it....Glad I can add it to the collection. Have some NOS stuff for it but this one doesnt need much messing with :w00t:

[whyzee]

that thing really is mint! nice grab.
now you just gotta wait for the shipper:banned:

:beer

[twgranger]

man you have one hell of a collection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gotta fix that seat though.

Very Nice! The trx250r and Tecate 4 are my favorite out of all the sport quads.

[Rm250RF900R]

Its terrble.... Nah its pretty nice :D

[grundlegrabber]

Very nice score OC, and at a reasonable price too! A 250R in stock form is a beautiful thing. They run like a dream. So hard to find one that was never modded, raced to death, or bastardized. You must have one hell of a museum. Got any vintage restored dirtbikes or streetbikes?

Very nice find. It is not uncommon to see some that have been rode hard and slightly beat up go for that price! That thing looks great!!

[Orangecnty250r]

Thanks Guys.... I am super happy about the condition of it and the price...After the auction the seller (who did turn out to be a great guy) offered me several hundered dollars to walk away from the auction because of serious offers he received afterwards. I said I wanted it and he honored it....its on a truck and on its way!!!

Yes 99% of the 86 and 87 's were modded (most modded nicely but not to my taste) My buddy has two that EVERYTHING is aftermarket except the motor...over 15,000 he has in each of them when he raced.

No interest in street bikes.....BUT I may look for and 86 CR500 or 250 to restore in the next year or two....I am thinking it would be cool to have an 86 lineup of the top models....That year was the highlight of my riding era so I am kinda stuck on getting now what I couldnt have then. :D I am slowly getting there

[mike from long island]

very nice find there. that is a very good price too. if i was still on the prowel,i would have considered that one before the one i bought. cant wait to see them all in person. now all you need to do is find yourself the little 125m 110 70 90 damnn a lot more!!! your gonna need a warehouse soon lol :D

[Rm250RF900R]

I also think a nice Honda Pilot would look nice in that collection of yours.

[NICKG]

you would have loved my 87.....it was new, like 5 hours total(didn't like it and started suzuki 500's ) I put it together a few years ago. I just tossed a new stock pipe and silencer for one of those...think i have a light and some misc stuff. Mike saw it...as did Cliff. If you are serious about an 86 cr 500, i have a buddy with one that he bought new that needs to be redone.

Great R! It's right in my back yard, so to speak. You are shipping it, I assume? :beer

[Darius1502]

Great collection OC!

Seriously though...did you ride that zilla yet?

[Huffa]

You stoled that thing for sure! I'd think it would be in the 4-5000 range! No wonder the guy offered you a few hundred NOT to take it.

VERY NICE + that's my favorite color combo for a machine. NO LIE...........

my absolute favorite! ............... A++++++

My CRF would look nice along side of that! :beer

Yes it would look good along side it :naughty: Yes, Even though the TRX auction seemed to have good key words it didnt come up on the reg searches for TRX 's I got it on one of my unusal combinations....Rangerover picked up on it also. If you look at the counter only 828 people clicked on it which is way under normal for something like this. Key words are funny sometimes :crazy: Example My 87 200X had over 10,000 on the counter and my 84 250r auction has only been up for 3days and 1500 people have clicked it.

Darius I still have to find alternative plastic to really romp on the Zilla. Jeb it was in Texas :D its crepping up the east coast right now according to the tracking information:w00t:

[cliff2302]

Yea, i saw NICKG's TRX, it was about in that same shape. He was smart about it though, he told me he bought all new maier plastic when he bought it and put the good stuff in his basement! Nice score, good price too.
