    87 big red for sale?

    http://wichita.craigslist.org/mcy/3645756277.html

    Can that be possibly confirmed as an 87 from the pics?

    Too true, when I got my 87 250SX it was advertised as an 85. I knew from the white tank it wasn't.

    When I got there and bought it the seller even had the title that stated 87..people have no clue, they just make it up as they go!!

    Now, about the machine in this listing..that is probably the most horrific thing I've ever seen!!

    The wild part is the clutch adjuster cap is still there in spite of everything else on the trike missing or broken..that just defies logic on many levels.
