Nice 85 250es $900!!!

[kebby28]

If someone could sneak in and grab this one for $900 they would have themselves a nice Big Red. The only thing I noticed is the front fender sticker is offset. Is that how they are or is this a new sticker?

looks beautiful but I wish people wouldn't put screws threw the rear fender garnish mouldings .

Wow..what is the deal with Big Reds? You see so many more mint ones....must be the farmer, rancher or golf course owner that uses it a few times and then forgets about it!

Love it!!!

Super clean! I doubt the auction ends up at 900 though.

Man, that one is actually close to me.

Wish I could snag it, but the way everything is going BIG RED CRAZY lately, I doubt it. Every little screw and plastic part is becoming gold with these damn things. Seems like even since I started getting into this a year ago everything has jumped in price. But this guy did start out on the low end with his price which is good. If it brings under 2K I will be shocked. I saw one with Maier fenders go for 2500 just a couple months ago so it could roll up easily. Those tires are just awesome. And anyone who has the cash to snag that could just buy the 600 dollar NOS black side moldings on eBay and have an almost factory ride (after a little tank touch up and replacement of the front mud flap).

I'm both excited and frustrated at the same time lol.

currently at $1025 with 5 Bids, Added it to my Watch list to see what it goes for.

I wonder if he was the dude that snagged the set of almost nos Ohtsus on eBay recently for the BR.

The BR is truly an amazing machine. Not the fastest ATC ever, but damn sure the stoutest one ever built. And I don't care, I have rode all kinds of 4 wheelers, nothing and I mean nothing beats a BR out on a trail for me. Big enough to be comfy, yet light enough to get out of a jam. Plus, they just have always seemed built better than anything I have seen from honda as far as ATVs go.

I really couldn't tell you how the 501 Ohtsus stack up to other tires in terms of realiability and such, but they would look pretty damn cool mounted on the back of a 4 wheeler even, wish someone would make them again or Honda would find a use for them....ok I got on a tangent again lol...

Thank you for sharing kebby :) This is a beautiful machine for sure! My front mudflap is broken in the same place, and I must agree with dustrunner in regards to the fender protectors, I saw several machines like this.

These Big Reds are becoming harder to find in this condition, plus the demand seems to be there driving the price up. :)

I would trade my rider 87 big red in ok shape for that 85.

All the trike stuff seems to have doubled or tripled in price. They are truly going through a rebirth. I had mine down to the gas station about two weeks ago to fuel up and one guy kept nagging me to buy it, was some pretty high dollar offers too but i just cant let her go.

Mine always get looks and questions wherever we go.
I just hope they don't appear in a movie or music video or we'll all be in trouble.

or, they find out that the fun caused by 3 wheelers cures all diseases...no wait, that would be ok.

Wow! It's up over $2,500.00 now. I would have a hard time turning down that kind of cash for mine.

[OKSTATE#1]

I was looking at mine tonite, I paid way less than 2500, but I wouldn't let it go for less than 5K lol. But that's because I don't want to sell AT ALL. I would want enough cash for pain and suffering....and enough to go buy another lol. There are quite a few nice big reds out there, but with all the accessories I have on mine now I would have a tough time parting with it.

There was a totally new big red (85) that sold at a cycle shop just last month for like 2600. It was beautiful. I almost bought it too, and I may have sold mine after that but I don't know....these things are addictive...

[OKSTATE#1]

It's up at 3400 now. 1 day left.

It may go ever 4K. I dont know. I feel the BR should bring more than the 250R, but the 250R is like a 60s model Corvette and the BR is a Cadillac, meaning many people favor speed over comfort and luxury.

[IronBear]

It's up to $3,450 and counting!
