    What is a "new" '86 Honda ATC 250 R motor worth??

    I ran across a "new" '86 250R motor today and I am trying to figure out what it is worth? The story I was told was that in '86 the local Honda dealer had to destroy 10wheelers. They removed all the motors and gave them to a local high school mechanics class. This one was put away in the closet and never touched again. The seller claims the motor will manually turn over and that it has still has the VIN #s on it.. Is this at all believable and if so, what is it worth?? Thanks

    I watched Andy's auction but this is just the motor.. Nothing else but it has reportedly never been run.

    1k to 2k depending on condition. If you can get it for anything less than a grand I would buy it. Offer him $200 and see what he says.

    eBay is definitely one of the better ways to get an idea of market value. Search for COMPLETED ITEMS, and compare final sale price.

    A member from here (Donzi26zx) picked up a whole whack of NOS a few months ago and has been selling it... here he tried to sell a NOS 250R motor for $1700 but no takers:

    i would think that it would reasonably sell for around $1,500, but then again, i have no idea.

    You'll be lucky to see 1200$ and the buyer would be an idiot not to purchase it with allot of parts being discontinued.....
