    Should I do it?

    I found an '83 ATC250r on craigslist not running. But the guy is only asking 200 for everything. I already have an '84 200x that some idiot put a 185s motor in but I dont know if I should try and get a 200x motor and mod the crap out of it or I should look into this 250r. Both would obviously require $. But which one is the better bang for my buck? Heres the link to the ad http://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/rvs/1743348588.html

    I have my trx300FW for the mud. I'm looking for a fast fun trail/ cruising bike, which is why i originally bought my 200x but knew nothing about the damn thing and got screwed. What do I do?!?!

    1985 Honda 200x (with big bore 185 motor)
    1988 Honda TRX 300 Fourtrax 4x4(my mud slut)
    1983 Yamaha tri-moto 125(rest in peace)
    1983 Honda 110 SOLD
    1984 Honda 200s SOLD

    I wish the law was the same in Canada. A 250R, agricultural vehicle!!!!! fastest tractor ever - Yamada

    If you are looking for something to fix up and make fast, and you will have to put money into either. Your best bet is the 250R.
    Rides:
    1986 ATC250R (sectional pipe and Klemm Research silencer)
    1986 ATC250R (Desert Bike, WAX-ON seat, Dual Cibie lights, Steering Stabilizer)
    1979 ATC110 (Bandito frame and forks, Turbo wheels, disc braked)
    1982 ATC70 (Lifan manual 125)
    1987 LT80 (piped, widened)

    Well from what I've seen I'm the only Floridian on here lol. But I really just put the ad up cause I wanted everyone to look at the bike before giving me their opinion.

    Cool Hopefully I'll be picking it up sometime this week if not than monday but its already mine. Im planning a .040 overbore, boyesen carbon reeds, a full dg exhaust, uni filter, and a carb off an 85/86 250r. Think this combo will run hard?
