I finally got a 1983 250r its my first one and I know next to nothing about it. First off I'll start the awsome story. I went to an auction thursday because I saw they had a 250r in the listing in they had it labeled as a honda 250 atc. I bet the guy that put it in the auction is mad. He put it in an auction in the middle of winter at a auction with nick nacks some tools and other junk in the middle of a record Blizzard not his finest choice. They were scheduled to sell it at 12:00 sharp so I showed up with my dad at 11:00 better to be early so I can check it out. They get done selling the rack that there on and a guy starts pushing the atc out through the floor. I thought he was pushing it up to sell NOPE he pushed it right outt he door and to his truck. Then my dad comes along and sees the guy and said he new him. So we ran after him we started talking to him and he got it for 500.00 thats right a misily 500.00 for a restored mostly mint 1983 250r. I almost died he said they sold it an hour before we got there. it was just mainly a bunch of old people at the auction and nobody wanted it. He said he didn't really want it but couldn't stand to let it go for that. So I needless to say almost cryed on the spot. We went on are way home made a couple of stops along the way and I walked in the door and on the answering machine was the guy asking me if I wanted to buy it. I couldn't belive it we jumped in the truck and went to his house and he said all he wanted to make on the deal was 25.00
It cost him 525.00 by the time he got done with the taxes so I got it for 550.00. So I basically feel like I won the lottery.
