I have a 1991 blaster with about $2k in goodies on craigslist, looking to trade for a nice 250r or 350x, as they have about the same value outr here. In the first couple hours I have received two offers, one for a stock 83 250 that has carb issues plus some cash, and another strait up for an 84 with new 10 inch rims and tires with a DG pipe and silencer. So I pitch the situation to you all, what should I do? Pick one of these or hold out for a 350x or a water pumper?

Personally, If you plan to ride A LOT, from what i hear, the Air- Cooled R's are not as reliable. I would hold out for a 85 and newer 250r (if you don't mind a quad) or a 350x. And as far as that 83 with carb issues, what kind of issues?? won't run?? i wouldn't do it.

okay, update on the 83 it has the 300 kit and the carb just leaks. It's still not worth more than 500 out here no matter how nice it is. He'll throw a couple hundred bucks in too.

4 Wheels? Huh?
should be plenty of late model r's and x's out your neck of the woods, I would hold off for a few weeks, and see what kind of offers roll in. Dont know how you role in the patience dept. though.

I agree wait, usually the guys who call that fast want to dump their bike for a reason. Like others have said the air cooled r's are fun but they get hot and blow up. I have personally blown one up and I now own liquid cooled bikes and a 350x. In your ad you could specify the years you want (85-86) that would help out. I have been in your shoes before.
Good luck.

I just had a guy stop by and offer me an 84 tecate and a parts bike. Should I do it? I really just want something that will hold together for a while. Is that even an option with old kawis? Not too sure about the funky radiator either. How good are these?

Is it me or lately does it seem people are always trying to trade Blasters for trikes? lol
Hope the Tecate trade works out for you.

How does it run? Lookes like some work to make it a nice Kawi. Here is the 250r that you passed up, i put it up on CL and sold it in less than a day anyways.
Ran just as good as my Tri-Z just not as torquey. Had a spare motor and scats on mitch's.
And here is the Tri-Z i almost stupid enough to trade for a quad for my wife, no disrespect, i just love my Tri. We will have to get together and go out imperial sand dunes and represent trikes.
