I swear I saw it or another in box 250r on ebay and it sold for 50 grand. The story on the one i saw about a year ago was it was used as a demo model, shipped around and put together and displayed, but never started once.

50 grand??!! Either that is not true or people are smoking crack. As much as I like 3 wheelers....it is a 3 wheeler! I wish I could piss away 50 grand like some people do.

No one is smoking crack NOOB! It hit $50k and the bidder backed out! This is a piece of trike history that will never come around again. NOOBS.......

Ha....It's comical to read the twisted up tails from some who heard roomer of "that 3 wheeler on eBay". Guess a 15 page thread is just a bit too much to read.....
I really appreciate all the kind words of well wishes and PMed offers. I would love to sell it to anyone here before seeing it go to a non member, "PRIVATE" collection. Can only hope it would still be kept "as is" and shared with enthusiasts. I've got a few weeks here to give it some thought. Wish i had the capital to start a museum or could lease it to one. I was approached at one point for a future "planned" museum. Sounded like it was a far in the future idea though. Time to get a lotto ticket....
What a dilemma. Funny how things turn out sometimes. Almost a headache of torn feelings. No regrets though!
Thanks guys!

Investing in a Oppurtunity such as this is not "pissing money away"... However,,Some Not having those funds shows former knowledge of how to ...

I saw the one get up to $50 grand. Is that this one? U had it for sale then and someone bid that high then backed out? Or there is another one?? Sorry for the questions. Either way....

I WANT IT!!!

He backed out b/c he realized what a stupid mistake he was making. He probably then went and invested in something that would actually appreciate more than a 3 wheeler. Don't get me wrong, 3 wheelers are great and I own a few of them: 2 Yamahas and 1 250R. But they are just atvs.

A piece of history? I would say it is a piece of history if it were actually rare and older than it is, but it isn't that rare. Who cares if the only people that touched it were some Japanese guys who didn't wash their hands after wiping their butts. The 250r's are a dime a dozen. There are more of those around, in all different conditions, than any other 3 wheeler! I have one in my garage as do many people on this forum. I also can type in 250r on ebay on any day at any time and find a nice one. Don't believe me? Go try it right now. Now if there were one or two made then we are talking rare! But 10's of thousands or maybe even 100's of thousands per year made? For every 1 tecate or 1 tri Z I see 10 250r's.

26 + -yr or two is not relatively that long in terms of "history". Just b/c you are stuck in the 80's doesn't qualify an item as rare or a piece of history. This really is more of a hobby then an archaeological find to study what people were like back in the 80's. You don't have to spend 50k. Just go look on youtube. Technology is pretty awesome.

Now 5k - 12k may be more realistic. 50K, I can't wait to watch some poor fool get screwed b/c he thinks kiss is going to pop out the gas tank high on the fumes and he can rock along. Must be fun to live in that kind of dream world.

Tattool, got some extra cash? I want to buy a new seat for my 250R on ebay. I heard Elvis sat on it and farted.

Honestly, I think you are on the wrong forum...

[TatTooL23]

Dcreel u r correct.

What an . I'm not sure what u mean about the seat 3-wheelin. Just because I say I want it doesn't mean I'm gonna pay $50k for it. I'm just saying I would live to have it in my collection. If that's not y o u r thing then fine. It amazes me how someone can get so max and worked up only because they have a different OPINION (u should look up the meaning 3-wheelin) on something.

Dcreel u r correct.

What an idiot. I'm not sure what u mean about the seat 3-wheelin. Just because I say I want it doesn't mean I'm gonna pay $50k for it. I'm just saying I would live to have it in my collection.

Yep you know what they say about opinions. BTW I think you "Disliked" the wrong post.

Well, you are entitled to your opinion. However, if you have nothing constructive to say, why start the drama? 50K to one man is like 5K to another man.....Sorry, but that is reality. It may not be in your cards, or mine for that fact. However, if you have the cash and want it....buy it. If not take a hike. As for rare....It is the only known NOS never built in the crate 250R. In my book that makes it rare. The 250R's I have and you have may be a dime a dozen, but show me another NOS one.....Right, you can't. Again, it is only worth what someone is willing to pay. 50K, 12K, 150K it doesn't matter, the market and the pockest of others will determine that. Have you looked at the price of old cars........

Good Luck with the sale! I hope you and the buyer are happy in the end. Buy that lotto ticket, you just never know.
