    Vintage motorsports 250es resto X 3 , entire 250 lineup ready for delivery!!

    This has been one of those jobs i thought would never leave my shop , What you see here is pretty close to impossible to pull off again , A good customer i have loves big reds just the 250es lineup and he over the past 4-5 years has been stock piling nos parts that filled my enclosed trailer I mean everything you can imagine times 3 , his goal was to have me restore the 85-86-and 87 250es to as close as you can get to brand new for his collection . well here they are 1 1/2 years after i started the first one . I am delivering them thursday cant wait to see his reaction , enjoy the pics

    Very nice Mike. (As always)... I keep trying to hear when the local Sheriffs are going to auction off their Big Reds. They were donated by HONDA at the end of the line in 87 and they only use them for the county fair etc. One of these days I want to do a similar thing on a 350X. I got about 85% of a 350X in NOS parts in the attic.

    thanks guys , alot of work sitting there ,
    what did that guy say 1200 each might want to add a 0 and you will still be low , this stuff doesnt come cheap you would die if you saw the nos parts list on these 3 , Im taling everything forks, wheels,fenders, cables, seats , engines, mufflers, switches, bars, every little rubber bushing and rubber part. lights , racks , you name it its nos and multiply this by 3 they all got the mega nos treatment ,
