Wortwile deal???

[RoscoW]

Hey guys, been lurking around the site for the last year trying to fix up my 350X and now I need some of your valued opinions on a trike deal I've found
The guy has 3 machines all are 2 owner 1985 250R's, two of them are stock looking machines and although dirty appear to be decent riders (not show queens). The third has been stripped and is mostly back together in a black frame and yellow plastics(new) color scheme, all the parts are there to complete it.
There are a few items that need attention ie fork seals, a gummed up carb, old fuel,etc. but all three do run , have a Paul Turner port jobs (has reciepts) and have a bunch of spare parts, like stock pipes, seats, shrouds, a shock, forks and about 5 sets of wheels and tires.
The other item is a 14' enclosed wells cargo trailer , older but it looks in decent shape.
Sorry I don't have any pics
Do you think this is all worth $4500 and a 16 hr round trip.

Thanks for such a great site

damn the trailer is almost worth that!!! I would say yes each running trike would be about 1000 a peice the third about 600 and that makes the trailer around 1900so it works out decent, but if you can get him down to 4000 even your golden, it also depends on the condition of the trailer

Sounds worth it to me.

Thanks fellas, This came up just before Christmas and I've been sitting on it for a month or two. I found a couple of pics, hopefully they load, the trailer is older (mid 80's) but low milage, has been more of a storage spot for these as they havn't been used for a couple years.

Wow, that is the first time I have seen someone try to make a HOnda into a Yammi! I see Yammi into Honda, Yammi into Kawi...now i've seen it all! 4500 american is a DEAL! Those 250R's down my way are worth a good 1700 each.

Well thanks for the encouragement, I drove down this weekend and picked up the trikes and trailer. WOW what a lot of stuff packed in there. The two red ones took a bit to start (2 yrs sitting) but they did and after warning up we rode up and down the street and do they boogie!!. Roll on in third and the wheel is off the ground. All trikes are complete down to the E brakes and skid plates, just really dirty. All were ported at Paul Turner's back in 85 and have pipes as well, I know 1 is a PTR pipe but not sure on the other 2. Original pipes and mufflers are there and like new. 2 extra sets of forks, 5 sets of tires & rims, box's of stuff I'll go thru today. The One with the new yellow plastics has a black powder coated frame but needs the seat redone, I was thinking a black seat with 250 and Honda in Yellow?? any other thoughts?. Tons of original paperwork as well. Owners manuals, owners cards, service manual, correspondence with Paul Turner, as well as 85 dealer pricing sheets from PTR. Envelope of classic race decals,New chains, clutches, chain sliders, bla bla bla.
And an enclosed trailer to boot.
I'll try and post some pics this afternoon as I go thru the boxes

Thanks again
Ross

mr and mrs mosh can do you wildest dreams on that seat for ya!!!!!!!!!!

[RoscoW]

I know, I've seen their custom stuff and they will be doing it, I just need to put it together and get rid of the tall black Hi-flite so I can try to imagine something.(not a creative mind). They will be getting my 350X seat on Monday for a Restore.
