    QUICK guys, is it a good deal?? UPDATE: SHES A RUNNER!!!!

    I found an 86 250R close to where we are at the moment, its got an FMF pipe, Ohlins rear shock, Keihin carb, a set of dirt tires and a set of sand skates on Douglas rims, and he wants 1100$ for it. I havent seen it and I havent even talked to the guy about it to see whats wrong, but does it sound like a good deal?? Need to know quick!!! so we can decide which direction were gonna go. Thanks guys!!!

    OK!!! Update!!!! I called him up last night and talked to him for a while. Apparantly it used to be a dirt track racer, raced by his buddy, and he bought it and got out of riding so its been sittin for about 2 years. Sounds like its in pretty good condition, no chain damage, etc. He said it used a mix of 93/AVgas, which means that its probably got some motor work done to it. He said that they tried using straight 93 octane and fried a hole in the piston, so they had it bored and it has a new piston. Said it runs great. Going to look at it later tonight, around 5:00 or later. I cant wait!!!!!!!!

    w00t!!!!

    THIS THING IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    I went and we just got back from picking it up, and this was one heck of a deal!!!! Its got a LOT of stuff on it, and most of it he didnt even tell me about!!! Its in GREAT condition, all plastics look brand new, seat also! The sand tires and the front tire are brand new, plus everything is on aluminum rims.

    Ill get all the pics within the next hour, and Ill let everyone guess what I paid for it once youve seen everything thats on it.

    Good for you! Exciting times for sure, sounds like you found a great machine. You originally said it was $1100, are you seriously suggesting you got it cheaper?


    Lets see them pics!

    Ok guys, heres the last of them for now.


    Can anyone recognize what this is? I know what it is!!


    Heres the other end of it....I think most people can figure out what it is now.


    But I dont recognize this....its mounted in front of the gas tank behind the upper triple....its made by Answer Racing and its called a Roost Boost....some kinda ignition thing??

    Along with all that, its been bored and has a new piston, and the guy seems to think its been ported and polished too. I think theres a little more done to it, because it runs on a 50-50 mix of 93 octane and race gas...

    Anyone wanna guess what I paid for it?? It even has a title!!!
