How do you know this?

This was just posted on Facebook. The guy claims it's his new registration for a 250R. Notice the year. "87". He says it's the first time it's ever been registered...

I'm trying to get him to post photos of the machine and then the VIN and tags etc. For now, this will have to suffice.

I'll bet its just a big red

I'll bet its just a big red

Wouldn't that be funny

I'm a bit skeptical, but he says it's a 250R. So we will have to wait and see. If it's bogus, I'll pull that down. Right now, it's something to think about.

It says its red.Werent the 87-350x and 250r white.Iv had people tell me all the time they have a 250r and when I go and see its a big red or 250sx. I was at a drag race few years ago and some guys saw my 82 250r and thought it was a 185s. When clearly on the gas tank in big red letters it says 250R.

That's what I said, unless the did it by the frame color and not plastics.

Like I said, I am skeptical.

Found this new brochure image for 1987 models. Look at the signs.

[petesatc]

Notice that all the ATC signs are pointing one way (1986?) and all the Fourtrax signs are pointing the other way (1987?)

That Ontario registration is a teaser, Why else would he have only photographed a partial section?

Yup that's where I found it. Never seen it before, so I figured I'd share.

Yeah, exactly - so what's the update on this? Why would the guy have no problem taking a picture of his ownership, but he can't get you a picture of the neck of the frame?

[Mr. Clean]

These pictures came from Tim Kinjerski, who emailed them to me several months ago after seeing the 87's page. I just haven't gotten stopped and put them on the page, but here they are.

What is the significance of the 87 cylinder? I have one freshly warmed over from Jason Hall that has HA2 and 87 stamped in the sleeve that came from a TRX250r? What makes it possibly an 87 ATC cylinder?

Mike I could be wrong but I read that most of cylinders produced for the 1988-1989 trx 250R's were mass produced by honda in 1987, I have a few 88 complete motors and all of them have the 87; HA2 marks on the skirts. I have NEVER seen a cylinder from an 88 or 89 with the date code of 88 or 89 on cylinder skirts. My personal 2 1988 riders as well have the ha2 87 stamp on cylinders.
The question I have is anyone doing a top end on a 1989 trx 250r please check bottom of cylinder skirt and check to see if anyone has a date code of 1988 or 1989 now those will be rare.
