Not that strange quite a few part books cover all the model years but sometimes only two pics when there was three and four model years covered....
I'm not sure the 87 350X even made it out of Japan ......there has been 87R parts been found over the years (white plastics,decals,seat) but nothing from the 350x so i got a feeling that one was chopped at the factory....

At this point, since it's been 30 years, there is a very real possibility we might never see a complete machine. Reason being because of what happened but also because what was compatible with earlier models (since I get the feeling 87s were just cosmetic changes) were probably resold as replacement OEM stuff that for all we know could have been mostly used up 25 years ago.
There might have been a few that slipped out back in the day, but these days it's really impossible to tell. We may never know. But to say they didn't exist at all is blasphemy in my opinion, at least in the case of the 250R. There is a ton of indisputable evidence that Honda was building them.

Agree with that Slash....
But I fear that the very limited numbers and time has probably all but done in the chances of finding a confirmed '87....

Can we get Dean on comment on what was going on when he rode that '87? Impressions etc. If it did in fact exist then more must be out there!

While the 1987 250R may still be in question, I think it is very cool what has been found. Keep up the hard work and keep us posted.

Does anyone know if Dean is invited/going to show at 3 Wheeler Week in March? If so, someone should see if we can get him to comment on it.

I reached out to Phil Beckman on Facebook he was an editor and def. a photographer at Dirt Wheels in the early to mid 80's. Waiting to ask if he ever saw any '87s'.
