    Honda 250XS

    Im thinking about buying an '85 250XS, the guy wants 250 and is giving an old pair of paddles and a set of rear rims. It hasent been started in 2yrs and has 1 flat tire and an ingnition switch problem(probally a bad wire). Do you think this is a good deal??

    I believe its a 250SX? Not XS..?

    And yes.. I personally think that $250 is a good deal. What kind of condition are the plastiics and stuff in?

    Excellent Deal. Get a new ignition coil/cdi/spark plug for a whole set new for what, 50 bucks? I would buy if i were you. Is the tire flat or just loses air? Pics? Oh, Welcome!

    The plastic is in good condition, the seat has a tear in it that will be easy to fix.


    The 250SX is a 4stroke automatic isnt it??

    The seat is very easy to fix. I would jump on it and get it before someone else has time to.

    A great deal even if you find out later there are a few other things to fix.

    A average 250 SX goes for between 8 & $1100 I'd say, then the REAL nice ones go from 12 right up to 15 and even a bit more from what I have seen.

    ok now you are required to buy it for $250 and an extra set of tires you should do it. Garentee you that if the carb gets cleaned and new gas is dumped in she will fire right up.

    Well, why don't You just go and buy all these cheap trikes and "blink" them to Manitoba, Canada and sell them? Then when You exchange that money for US Dollars ("blink" again), tell them how much you got "ripped" for.
