    What do you guys think? might trade for 84 250R

    I put my banshee project up on craigslist for trade for a 3 wheeler of some sort, and got this offer. I have 300$ buying the shee and about 150$ in parts so far, not counting the seat I recovered, but about 450$ total. It needs the engine rebuilt (new crank, pistons, bored) and shocks mainly. The 250R I dont know much about other then it needs new rear plastics, and it has massive mud tires on it. Has an aftermarket pipe of some sort (Bassani??) and maybe a carb, cant really tell from the pics. Im really considering trading for the R but I thought Id get everyone elses input first.

    Is there anything to look for on these s? Ive never messed with one so I dont know about any common problems they might have.

    Anyways heres the pics:

    X2! It looks like the motor has been rebuilt recently, or at least repainted.
    Rides I own:
    '85 200X(old smokey)
    '81 ATC250R(Bassani pipe, Wiseco piston, Vesrah rod, and AMS offset rims)
    '84 KXT250 Red(the new money pit!)
    '96 KX125(FMF pipe, Boyesen reeds, One Industries graphic kit, etc.)
    '85 KX125(vintage racer. Technically it was a practice bike)
    '78 DT400(the lone Yamaha)

    Well the guy is supposed to call me back at 4:30 and let me know. Ill keep you guys updated.

    Also, does that axle look extended, or is it just wide rims? I cant decide what it looks like to me.

    I'm in agreement with you on the pipe and doing it. It's a no brainer.

    Update?! I really hope you grab it. The more of these Foolers we can 'locate' and nurse back to health the better.

    Thats why I urge all Fooler owners, regardless if you like me or not - please contact and allow us at s.com to put your ride in the readers ride section - we wanna get as many of these foolers accounted for as possible!

    One thing that I see that is a little unusual for the 83-84 foolers . Both tank shrouds are in one and piece on the tank.

    that's one place I always wanted to drive to...alaska. Idk if the scion can make it though...do they have good roads the whole way?


    That is 600-1000$ in fuel roundtrip...lol. 4k miles...one way. It would be the most bad ass roadtrip in the history of road trips though.

    He hasnt called back yet so I sent him an email. Im hoping Im not getting the run around here and that I can actually pick this up.

    And yeah, Goat, the Scion would make it up no problem.
