    I saw that too....

    Thing is, having and being able to LOOK at a mint new ATC is great. But it's only great to talk about or think about here and there. I have so many memories riding my toys that no matter how mint they ever get, I'm gonna ride em.

    Unless I ever get rich, I'll be riding anything I get my filthy paws on!!

    Me too...I can't stand show queens... They make me sick.... But in the case of an actual showroom condition un-restored machine or new in the crate.... I think it should remain un-ridden... and reside in a public museum or showroom....

    cr480r u r say if u got *Edited**Edited* hands on a trike that was never ridden before you would not want to put the first marks on it it is like going out and buy a new quad you would be proud to be the first to do any thing on it. this trike is 20 some years old no one have done any thing to it

    Dont get me wrong, i like to see a bike being used for what it was intended BUT we didnt get that many trikes in England. So a mint one never riden or a crated one is realy worth keeping that way.

    Back to the original thread - $7000 in the UK is only £3400 today (nov 07), so i think it's worth every penny !! But only to be looked at !! I'd pay that for it if it was in theUK.
    Also what did a brand new 250R cost in 1986, and what is that amount of value worth today (ie , what did a candy bar cost back then and what does the same bar cost today) . And by comparison what does a new CR250 and TRX 250R cost ?? I'd like someone to reply to all that so we can all see what these cost's are , only then could you work out the true value of a new condition 250R and it's added value to an enthusiast. Sorry if i bored any one.

    And where are the pictures ??

    If I had one that was never ridden or extremly low hours there is no way I'd take it out and ride it, it's nice to have a few around that are like that, and if I'd sell it surely I would be very particular as to who would buy it.

    There are 100's of R's out there, why take a perfect museum piece and scratch it up ?

    This one survived all these years, if there really is one, it deserves to stay that way forever.

    Didn't see at 1st that this is a old post, as usual, probably not true anyway.
