    what would you do?

    ok, so i have a neighbor with either an 85 or an 86 ATC 250R i just know its a liquid cooled one. apparently he just rebuilt the motor and put new (probably aftermarket) plastic on it. it looks pretty good, and he wants a grand for it. am i correct to assume i could snag this and mabey make a buck on it if i wanted to? i just need some feedback.

    if its in decent shape,and its really a liquid r. thats a pretty good price. I see them going for 1500-2500 quite a bit (depends on how nice it is)

    its hard to say exactly how much you could make off of it, but it sure dont sound like a bad deal to me. you got anything he might take in trade to make the deal even sweeter?

    Sounds like a good deal, but make sure everythings good before you buy.

    Don't forget, allot of these "R"'s haven't ever had the bottom end opened up....... 1000$ is about the going rate for some pretty nice R's these days.

    They can run fast as hell and sound good but have sloppy main bearings. Some peoples idea of a rebuild are a new topend and gaskets..... Get some receipts!
