    Pics of my 87 Big Red

    I have been lurking here for a while and have made a few posts, so I thought I would post a pic of my 87 250es. It took a LONG time to find one this clean locally but it was worth the wait. It runs Perfect. Only real issues are surface rust on the racks, seat (but not that bad) and the engine paint on the left side. I got it from the original owner. It has new Ohtsu Pro-Am 501's because the originals were dry rotted. Also had to creme coat the tank. Everything is original except for tires, handlebar grips (OEM Honda) and the Hondaline headlight grille. I have about $1400 in it but will probably never sell it. What do yall think?
    Any suggestions? I really want the brushgaurd but cannot pay the 3 to 400 bucks that they go for on eGay. Seat cover is next.

    1400 isnt a bad price for a BR down here in that shape!

    Ive never ridden a 85-87 big red but i love them. I have a nice 85 sx that really is one of the best do it all trikes for general riding and having fun on. But when it comes to getting a job done theres really nothing like 85-87 big red. They were in a way luxurious, and classic, with all of the necessary pieces to work it on a job or just having fun. Not to mention all of the room they appear to have. They were truly way ahead of their time when it came to creature comforts and convenience. Keep it forever and good luck in your hunt for accessories.

    Thanks for all the compliments! I never thought about the motor mounts bolts, but I will do that tomorrow. Hopefully I never have to remove them.

    Check this one out....a friend of mine got it from the original owner about 1 mile from my house. I didn't think it would ever be possible to buy this. 100% original. only 3 trips on it, and those were about 30 minute rides. Still has the original oil in the motor. kicked it twice and it fired right up. 1800 bucks....

    Dam, now that's one SICK big red. Hopefully its kept under wraps for many more years, even though its gotta be enjoyed here and there. Keep an eye on the tank, you have a real beauty there. $1800 for that, my stomach is starting to turn. Love it.

    That is sweet. I wish my engine was that clean. Wanna sell that seat for 200 bucks? I need that emblem on the front fender but I am having trouble finding just that one. The guy I got it from said it blew off with a pressure washer.
