    Kasey, those fork boots are hard to miss, but the rear fenders appear to be an ATC unit. I think the picture was just taken from a weird angle. I must admit that the word "MINT" is used way too much on this forum, often for crap that isn't!

    allright I never said it was Mint I said NEAR MINT!!! it has the oringnal ATC 250R rear plastic fenders, this is super clean and im sure that there are not a whole lot out there that are as clean as this. I never "Lowballed" my neighbor he has had it for sale since last summer. This definitly isnt crap.

    WHOA, WHOA, Whoa, easy there Turbo! Nicker, no where in my post did I say that your bike was crap. Upon rereading my post, I suppose I may have implied that, but that was not my intention. Your post with the "NEAR MINT" comment was simply the straw that broke the camel's back.

    As per Webster's dictionary, mint (mint) n. [<L. <Juno Moneta, whose temple was the mint] 1. a place where money is coined by the government. 2. a large amount -adj. new, as if freshly minted -vt. to coin (money) -mint'age n.

    Based on the definition, I'd say that "NEAR MINT" is really stretching it.

    If I found one in that condition I would replace the tires, grips, bars, shrouds, boots and silencer with all new honda OEM original parts. Then it would sit in my basement and be scrubbed with toothbrush until it was as clean as it was when new. I would consider it near mint after all of that. That bike would be a very nice investment the way 250r's have been going, I don't think I could bring myself to part with it though.

    It may be clean but not really mint. its worth about $1500 around here. It has potential to be mint with some work... good luck. what did you pay?
