Is ths a good deal

**Gameover** · 03-10-2007, 05:15 AM

Received a call yesterday form a guy that knows a friend of mine , i guess this guy has a 82 250R for sale and my friend told him he knew someone who was in to trikes and might be interested in it . Aayway i don't really need another trike since as i have 7 of them now but he wanted to send me a couple pics anyway , he wants $500.00 for this little 250R and says it runs and drives great . has no cracks in the fenders and no dents in the tank he did say there was one small hole in the seat which i don't see in the pics . he also said this was the original paint and it has not had a lot of use . it looks pretty good to me but i have no idea what these first generation 250R's are worth . so what i'm wondering is , would this be a very good deal or is this what they usually go for in this condition . if it was a really good price then i might buy it

Thaanks !!

id buy it. i mean how often do you see a near mint oem first generation 250R ?

**Gameover** · 03-10-2007, 05:30 AM

Yeah i know it does look really nice , i did ask him if thier was any damage to the other side of the tank or anything since he didn''t take a pic of that side and he said no damage at all . how ever i know photos can be very deceiving sometimes , it's a 60 mile drive but i think i will at least go have a look at it

i would look at it. it would be a cool little toy lol. better than what i have. well faster than what i have.

I've never seen one of these in person but from all the photos i've look at they are much much smaller then the 2nd and 3rd generation 250R . heck whats one more little trike in the garage going to hurt , if it is as clean as the photos make it out to be and is machanically sound i guess i will buy it

Looks to be in very nice shape to me, grab it!

That thing is clean.

At 500 that is an absolute steal !!

I really think that is the nicest 82 R I ever saw. If it was mine there is NO WAY I'd sell it for that cheap,NO WAY!!

It's so nice it's almost too nice to ride!!

A 1000 would be a steal in my book. You just don't come by those in that nice of shape hardly, buy it for yourself man!!

It looks "pretty" good to you? DUDE, you look for a Loooooong time to find a nicer one and to find a nicer one it would almost have to be mint. Don't dick around, BUY IT or the game may be over!!!

Well i only say it looks pretty good cause i know that photos can and usually do make somthing look a bit nicer then it actually is and i just wanted to make sure what he's asking would be a good price even if it's not quite as nice as the pics and since i'm pretty much new to 3 wheelers i don't know prices with out doing allot of research and theres no time for that . i just bought a 350X two days ago and my 7th trike in 7 months so i can't justify buying it unless its to good to pass by which seems to be the case assuming it's close to looking like the pics . ill update this post if all goes well and thanks everyone for all your help it's truly appreciated

**84honda200s** · 03-10-2007, 12:57 PM

i wouldnt let this one slip from under you man. if i had a pick between a 50.00 near mint 200s or the 500.00 near mint first generation 250R i would take the 250R hands down.

good luck man

ooo yea i dont know if anyone told you but welcome to 3ww the largest trike forum on the net.

Positively correct about pictures making a machine look nicer but those are pretty close up and I'm sure it could use a bit of detailing but still that is one nice 82 R man.

Even the axle is nice and clean. I'm almost postive your taliking over a 1000 for that if it went on ebay. If it was mine, I'd detail the heck out of it and keep it for ever!

The only thing I see "wrong" is that it looks like it has a plastic strip that may go on edge of seat base on the inside and that came off somehow?

YES, it definitly seems T00 good to pass up!

Please post some real close up shots of it if you buy it or check it out farther.

Thanks!

Go get it!!!

If that were offered to me for $500, it would be mine! That is a great deal! Especially with the nice bling wheels on it. They ARE very very small machines (like the size of a Big Red or 200S), but they are still none the less a 250cc 2-stroke monster! I'd get it!!

**Gameover** · 03-10-2007, 03:17 PM

On My way out the door guys , i'll take pics either way and post them up when i get back

Thanks
again

Wow I have a 1981 250r that I thought was the cleanest around but that one takes the cake!!! I payed $500.00 for mine and I think it was a steel.
