NOS 250r ENGINE!!!

[gomer202]

i picked up this 250r NOS engine on ebay 2 weeks ago what do you guys think? looks preety new to me we checked everything out looks spotless things gonna rip

[gomer202]

ignore the electrical tape on the wire we had to attach the wires from the old engine on this one because they were cut when the trikes were banned

i wouldnt run it. honestly. its just too pretty. i would buy one of those chrome engine stands that a guy was selling on here and on the shelf it would go. there wont be NOS motors out there for much longer.

[gomer202]

I know it's pretty I got the motor for $1400 but I'm from Canada and locally I couldnt find anything I know I thought of not running it I got another motor but it needs engine cases which I bought with the motor but this motor will be newer than most engine out there most people will disagree with what I'm doing putting a nos engine in a trike but im happy with it

man........your 1 lucky sob hahaha have fun with it man!!!!

[gomer202]

The guy I bought it from bought out a Honda store in the late 80's he got a few more if anybody is interested

[gomer202]

Well I'm starting up the motor for the first time tomorrow I might get a video up if anybody is interested in seeing fire for first time in more than 20 years all we need is tranny oil gas and anti-freeze

Seriously dude, sell this engine to someone who will respect it's rarity, and buy another engine to use as a runner.


Don't waste this engine, who knows how few could be out there.......

I say run it, but care for it. What the hell good is a $1400 paper weight? Its not like he bought Buster Browns Crated 250r and is putting it together. Its just an engine, they pop up on Ebay all the time.

I bet there are more of these things out there than you think. I look for there to be a flood of NOS parts once the ecomomy turns around. Guys that don't need to sell this stuff right now are seeing what prices this stuff is bringing in a bad economy and are just salivating for things to turn around.

I may be wrong, but I guess we'll see.

"Take care of that engine!!!!!!" is all I have to say. Break it in gently, and use all of the recommended fluids for it. It should treat you well, provided you treat it well.

[Xhumeka]

Yes, make a video FOR SURE!!!! I would love to see that fire up for the first time!

[Dirtcrasher]

Your looking at 20 years or more of basic maintenance. Enjoy, I know I have!

Run that motor...the best way I can think of to pay it the respect of it's historical significance is to put it in a trike and ride it... I couldn't get that in a chassis and kicked over fast enough...nice score

Im with you guys on this one. Run it, but take good care of it. Nice find... Pricey? Yes. But nothing in life worth having comes cheap! Cool thing about it is that you know the whole history of that engine and can properly break it in and mantain it meticulously. I imagine back in the day when everybody "knew" the trikes would continue to be produced for years and years, not as many people took as good care of this stuff as they could have. Totally different scenario now. Those of us who are still loving on the old dogs tend to be alot more meticulous about taking care of these things cuz there are less and less of them out there every day.

Congrats on your find!
