Ok so some lady is selling this and she is clueless as to what it actually is, ive called her and she says that it has a "brand new 250 engine" she could be wrong about the size, wondering if anyone could give me a positive ID for this bike, if its a 200x im gonna buy it.

Its not a X, it a 2-stroke, R maybe?

**hondahaulic** · 04-22-2009, 11:37 PM

looks kinda like a bike conversion from the looks of the seat, and maybe 2 front downtubes on the frame?

first gen R

**ants84olds** · 04-23-2009, 02:17 AM

Looks like a 250r to me.

**Shftatsix** · 04-23-2009, 02:31 AM

hmm, well darn probably not gonna get it. Looked on ebay and the parts are too few and far between for the first gen R

Its an 81 or 82 250r. Id pick it up for that price, you can still get tons of parts for them. Looks to be pretty complete except for that front axle, which is easy to come up with.

I got 2 200x front ends that could go on that, plastic is still available so....what isnt hard to come by? for that price its worth it especially if the motor runs.

buy it i'll take the 6-pack rack and maybee the wheels and tires and the motor should bring atleast 4 bills on e-gay

**rdlsz24** · 04-23-2009, 11:27 AM

I would buy it. Those look like nice rear rims/tires. The engine does look newer too.

Ill give her a call again and take a look at it today. Main reason to buy another one is for my buddy, only reason I wanted a 200x is because I have a spare 200x parts bike that I was gonna help him replace parts if needed. So sorry, if I get this its not gonna get parted out

**Shftatsix** · 04-23-2009, 08:42 PM

So I went up there and bought it, not bad at all for $150

**Saul** · 04-23-2009, 08:48 PM

whatcha gunna do with it?

**AutoXer** · 04-23-2009, 09:05 PM

you sure you don't want to part it out LOL looks better in your truck than in the weeds

**300rman** · 04-23-2009, 09:09 PM
