That's a really good deal especially for a 87 250es I never saw a 87 around here, they sound pretty rare, and it looks like its been treated good, looks just like the decals faded. But looks good
left front fork looks bent forward! check it out
Where is it bent? and yeh there's even 1988 models in Australia.

really nice bike man, keep it that way, she survived this long, dont kill her now
i suggest to everyone who has one of these original untouched 250 sx/es engines check your timing chain slack. it was hondas first try at a self adjusting timing chain and unfortunately they dont seem to go very far. i have seen quite a few engines get too loose and jump teeth, bending valves and one cracked the piston when it hit the valve. check it out

Give the racks and headlight guard a fresh coat of black paint - it will look a lot better. I like the "Super Red" decal...that's cool!
BTW - is that a horn below the headlight on the right side? I have an '85 250ES and don't have one of those.
