    Thanks Jim and 350for350
    I am on cloud nine about this bike and the build.
    I feel like I owe it to this bike to bring it back to life, more so than others, I can't explain it, may be I just want it more? I don't know
    I will tell you all here its a very low production number bike, like #26 of that year. its like a dang time capsule, lol.
    No compromises its the real deal.

    about 12 years ago I had a guy answer a want ad. I get a call at work, guy says I see your looking for a trike, are you interested in a 250r? For 600 bucks? I asked about the year which he didn't know buy UT runs and has a title. so I left my bed cover at work, went to the bank and checked this mystery trike out. yep, beautiful 86 250r, got it home, putted it around the streets, decided I didn't like 2 stroke and sold it. I underpriced it at 1000 bucks. guy that bought it thought the ad was wrong, begged me to hold it for him until he got to my house which I did.
    it was one of many mistakes of selling something I should have kept. jim

    We all have those regrets Jim Mac. Luckily its was just a 3 wheeler, I passed on a 1963 2 door hardtop impala w/ a 327, I was young and it would have broke me at the time, but it will always be the one that got away.
    I wont let this one get away so easily, I had a few 2 stokes dirt bikes before, they have there place but might not fit my riding style now. I really want to see this one brought back to life.
    I am not so naïve to think it will just fire up and run, I am sure it has a real problem, the question is can I find it and fix it!

    Thanks for sharing

    Sure you can fix it! Now that I've watched the video, I'll say that I wouldn't hesitate to buy one that looks like that if it's for a good price. Those kind of things are only cosmetic.

    As for pricing, I think I did good on it, I know I have always been Mr. price talker, but I didn't want to air the sellers business, he is local and youtube is kind of a big stage. I paid $700 for the bike like you see it. Its production number 26 of the 1986 model year. I think that's pretty cool, it doesn't change anything but I like it.
    I was going to flip the clone by Christmas (paid $150 for it) but I really like it and it runs like a top. I would like to paint it the gold or green the real 70s came in.
    When you find killer deals sometimes its hard to let them go when there really cool. I have already sold off most of my collection (hardtail bikes). I am down to 10 or so bikes now. I really want to sell a few more, I have to get focused and quit getting side tracked with holy grail bikes lol.

    The 250r story is just as I explained it in the video, a friend, had a neighbor, that knew a guy. that simple, the issue was, if I didn't get it soon, the seller knew people where talking about it, it wouldn't last a day or two. Afterword's I called my friend and said I had the bike, he said man, that was fast, I said you cant wait, like blood in the water, the good deals won't last.

    I am working on a end of year video, kind of a wrap up, I don't want to bore you all, so I am trying to not make it a slide show, There may be some voice over work we will see. The YT channel is growing everyday, its really is amazing to see. over 1600 subscribers now.

    Feel free to voice any suggestions you would like to see in the future for the channel.
    As always thanks for your support.

    1600 subscribers. That's pretty good. I am proud to say that I was #6 or #7 on that list.
    Keep that 250R. Love it. Treat it better than family (ask me about my family and you'll know why I say it like that). And know that you've just made me and probably many other jealous with that price. Good choice on not saying it on You Tube. I hate giving out much personal info on a forum like this, much less on some type of social media. Admittedly these forums are probably many times safer than social media is.

    I think its good to thin the herd once in awhile. it looks like you have plenty of room but trying to keep so many in running condition, tires aired up and not cracking, carbs dried out and needs torn down before riding. critters eating wires or upholstery then you have so many you don't really appreciate the special few.
    I have a lot less room and really thinking of shrinking the herd to maybe 3 trikes myself. jim

    No problem , front sprockets are always listed under the transmission .


    The front sprockets are notorious for coming loose with the factory setup , BDT sells a kit that works great .

    Kind of like having a new kid or a date with the homecoming queen. I understand the excitement for sure! Very proud moment! Kind of like a kid, it will fight you at times and challenge you at others but hopefully you can mold into what it is supposed to be!!

    If you decide to go with a number plate or anything like that "26" would be very fitting. Congrats!

    I have a new video, goes live this Sunday 7:30pm.

    Lets just say the Unicorn 250r is full of surprises.
    Here is the photo the seller sent me. What would you do?
