1983 ATC 250R vs 1985 ATC 250R

[Saul]

New? Maier is your only option for new as far as I'm aware.

[SYKO]

man this thread is stupid, Ive had both a 83 that started life as a 300 that turned into a 250 and the whole time had my 85. When in 300 form it was a monster and I loved it, in 250 form it was a quick revin trail rig... but neither could hold a candle to my liquid 85. But that dosnt make me baised either, I love the air cooled for certain reasons, for one no water to worry about overheating in trails and thats a big difference plus you can tear them down just a bit faster then the liquids. Either way you will be happy with the air fooler, one day I will own one again and I kick my azz all the time for selling mine....

[Saul]

man this thread is stupid,

Why is the thread stupid?

[kbreese]

syko, nice 83...also, you have a big friggin chin...you should fight in the UFC maybe. But I agree with , I have no idea why you said this thread was stupid??

I knew while reading this something seemed 'off' nad while researchin 300R's tonight I found this from 12/11/2008...

my 300 was faster then my 85 liquid

hmmmm

[The Goat]

I was actually thinking the same thing.

Topspeedwise which means nothing, that 300r does 75-78 mph.

And she gets there mighty fast.

Also, a stock 85 triz isn't that much faster than a stock 350x. Oh well...

Best place for plastics is eBay. Maier is your only option.

[kbreese]

Does the 85-86 rear plastic also fit the 83-84? Can't seem to find their rear fender specifically for an 83-84.

Edit - nevermind, I found the 83-84 one. Thanks. I just wish it didn't say maier on it. The sticker in the middle looks like it can just be taken off but its also on the black parts too. Too bad you can't have it look OEM.

[SYKO]

the thread was stupid becouse it was to baised, my 300 was fast and faster then my liquid, but not after I had the liquid tuned for racing, then it didnt stand a chance. I see saul likes to point out little stuff like that, at least you use the search button.

I llike them both for various reasons but neither enough not to chop up my 85 and shove a 500 in it... now I dont give a crap about them lol

the maire stickers come off so everything looks clean, for a rider I prefer aftermarket plastic, woulld suck to spend 600 on oem fender then roll it down a hill and break it all up!

the front fender from a 85-86 will bolt right on a 83-84 and personaly think it really makes the whole machine look way better.

and .... I got an air fooler here im working on that will look like no other air fooler out there... and im not showing you pics.

[The Goat]

Lol never poke the gorilla with a stick.

I just remembered I took the above picture... And if you look closely you can see my then girlfriend pressing her ass against the limo tint.

I didn't go looking for that actually Syko - just was doing a lot of 300r reading last night and saw that is all.

I'll hack your computer if need be!!

It's cool though, again - wasn't 'calling you out' but more confused over the two different statements.

As for the thread being biased - I think almost everyone but me was telling him to buy the liquid R - so, yeah, it was biased - for the liquid!

Regardless - the OP is getting a trike and so that is pretty much all that matters, right?

NEVER poke me with a stick......


I just noticed the buttocks... and if I can remember that was some decent buttocks got any other pics?

[kbreese]

What are my options as far as refinishing the tank? taking it to a body shop and having it repainted? Where does one acquire honda red paint to match?

stko, thats a great animation in your signature, lmao.

I roll like a black man when it comes to booty.

I think my old phone has 2gigs of pics on it, a ton got deleted when she had my phone for a day. I prefer my new girl though, younger, beautiful, and the most entertaining mother effer I've ever seen.

If I go to trikefest, and you're there, I will poke you with a stick, sorry, has to be done.

Sorry for the thread jacking, good luck with the fooler. They are pretty darned quick.

I redo alot of tanks Im trying to finish up 2 members tanks this week, I have a common red color code that I use for tanks if you PM me I will send it to you. Alot of body shops will do a tank for you as well, try to get a smaller one though as the larger ones tend not to want to do anything as they are just insurance related.

i have an 82 ,83,84 and 85 ATC 250 R's and i like the simplicity of air foolers better , the water pumpers are great also but quite a bit more expensive but on the positive side parts are easier to find.. i prefer air foolers over pumpers but that is just my personal choice, i just like how easy it is to work on them , i feel like i am working on my car every time i do replace something on my 85 (remove coolant,remove hoses,remove radiators etc.)..
