    I think any trike is worth saving. Especially an R. it's hard to say how much without some pics.

    Do you know what year it is. I thought 250r's had plastic tanks which I think would be hard to dent.

    Rescue it. Every trike, no matter how busted up it is, is worth saving. Remember, they don't make 'em no more!
    Quads are for GIRLS!
    Trikes are for REAL MEN!

    Some trikes are better as doners to make other ones better.
