Need help choosing. 86 tecate 3 vs 86 250r

[voodooford]

iam going to buy one or the other. the ones iam looking at have both been rebuilt from ground up and the money is the same, both look great, there both very nice. iam looking to ride this and just have fun with them. what do yall think??

[88 Turbo Coupe]

Buy both of course

[daniel_250r]

i would with the honda, parts are way easier to find

[dcreel]

The Tecate.. because it is more rare.

[cr480r]

the honda will be easier to find later... thats why I would get the tecate first

[mdunn]

Tecate parts are hard to find, but you will have a better return on your money if you ever decide to sell it. Or you can buy the R and tell me where the tecate is....lol...

[brapp]

For a daily rider thew r is a more parts avaiable and easier to find but if its gonna be a grage queen the t-3 cant be beat.

[oscarmayer]

honda! probebly worth more in the future too since it is very saught after. 86 is not as common.

[fabiodriven]

Tecate all the way. I just threw a rock and hit two 250R's. Don't worry, they weren't mine.

honda R will be way easyer to find parts for, so think about what you want?... something to look at and ride now and then with fear of breaking somehting, or something you can ride and enjoy and not worry about finding parts?

[scooterroo]

being partial to t-3's i will say tecate. like others that have already given this advice, the r's are so common and parts are readily availible for them which is a plus on the r's side. t3's the parts are a bit harder to find but worth every penny when you do. plus what would you rather do, be like everyone else and blend in with the red, or stand out and kick ass on something green?

[harryredtrike]

im partial to red,sorry

I'd get the Tecate in a heartbeat. I've owned a 250R, and it was a great ride, but the rare times I have ridden a second generation T3, I was more than impressed. Yes, parts are a little harder to find, but if you look, you'll find them. If you're not an idiot (which I assume you're not because you're here), you can ride it and keep it nice with ease. No offense to the Honda guys, but you can dig a hole in your backyard, and I guarantee you'll find a 250R, right next to a 69 Camaro, of course. The Honda is an awesome package, but I'm a Kawasaki guy, and I really like to stand out from the crowd, so I wouldn't lose any sleep in choosing the Tecate over the 250R.

[tecate 250rr]

KAWASAKI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All the way!(1) They look better(2) They are faster(3)They are cooler by a factor of x100

[Tecate 50]

Team green

[Autophysn]

both dude, both!
But they have a point, you can find the Honda any day of the week, if you can get a hold of the T3, do it! I regret not getting it when I had the chance.......

I love the 250r for a rider but plan b is if the tecate gets to be too slow i know from experiance i ahve the 94 kx500 motor in mine

[oldskool83]

if you buy the tecate get just keep in mind one of the rad shrouds you cant get anymore from anyone i think, so yeah. but i like lime green.

[69HemiGTX]

Hornetpowersports repops the radiator shrouds and headlight cover, and the front and rear fenders and left shroud are still available from Kawasaki. The gas tank is the only thing not available new.
