Caught one of those car auctions on the tube last night. Its amazing to me seeing what certain cars are bringing in these days. Back in the day my buddies and I all had road Runners, GTOs, etc... they were everywhere and it seemed as though no one but us wanted them. I remember buying a 66 SS396 Chevelle convertible, 4spd...... for 6 grand... I thought I had robbed a bank when I sold it for 12 grand 2 years later! Man, I could buy a mansion if i had that baby today. But getting back to this 250r.... most of us may look at 18 grand and start sweating..... I know I have yet to buy a trike for more than a $1000 myself. But what does that 18 grand really represent? Hours and hours of research, fabrication and meticulous attention to detail. The last time you walked into a bike shop to buy a spark plug, did you take a look at their shop rate? So just think of what the true cost of bringing this 250r from where it was to where it sits today. I know if I had the money to spread around.... I would be out shopping for all the machines I've owned in the past... right down to that orange Honda Trail-70, lol. And I can see where something like this R could easily fall onto someone elses list. We all know they sure aren't making them any more... and we all know plenty are being parted out daily and others just plain rusting away in the back of barns....... so could this be the wave of the future with trikes? Maybe five or ten years from now 12, 15 or even 18 grand for a machine of this caliber might not seem so crazy...... just as I feel today over that 66 SS I once owned

$8500, still going

Just being a one of a kind trike will be a plus on getting big bucks for it. plus its a sweet looking machine too, but the finest workmanship put into this trike has got to play a huge role in getting top dollar.. Great work again Mike!

I'd love to have it. But I wouldn't ride it so it's no use to me.

I have a rough idea of what a stock 1st generation 250r looks like.

I see he has lowered the buy it now.And ebay sent me a letter stating his reserve was lowered too. It makes me think he might be trying to sell it???? I would hope not.A lot of time and great ideas came out of that bike.How often will we really see bikes done in such a beautiful manner??? I know Mike from vintage would share pics of other bikes.But you really only see him doing complete OEM style.

Hopefully rpm-atv doesnt get ahold of this one....

It will be very interesting to see the final conclusion..... I cant wait!
