    Talking Just picked up an 87 250sx that's right an 87

    I picked up a very dusty 1987 250sx from my wifes boss
    I stepped into my wifes shop to smoke cig one after noon after bringing her lunch I was off that day and noticed a head light peeking out from some boxes after some investigating and two monthes of hounding her boss he finally parted with it for 250 bucks. I am super excited to find out today it's an. 87 and it's cherry the plastics are in great shape seat is in good condition has one small tear and needs to be re stapled it had a very rare matallic gray gas tank and matching rack on the rear. I have color matched the tank and had a new batch of paint made I sand blasted the tank today and I have to weld some small holes tomorow where rust has eaten through in the normal place. I cleaned the carb and replaced a bad tire I am hopeing for a functional bike by Saturday I will try to post pics soon.

    Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    Calling an illegal alien an undocumented immigrant is the same as calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist.

    The stock 87 tank is white, and the SX on the tank sticker is red. The 86 sticker has a blue SX, like yours.

    No I got it from a brian he has a Cajun last name
    I just got off the phone with brian he said in 87 you could get the white tank or red tank and headlight shroud the tank was painted by some kids at a high school and he ordered a sticker kit for an 86 to replace the tank decals
