What year is this R, is it worth $200 with extras? (Really, really rough)

[TheRealFatShady]

I found this that a guy doesn't seem to want much, he bought and never got to it, said it did not run.
I have an extra good bottom end, and two cylinders/heads without pistons.

I was told it's rough, not running. Not even sure of all the parts that are included. Front end is either swapped or it's an 83 or 84, right?

I kind of want to buy it for spare parts, maybe make a cheap beater and still have extras. Two two front hubs, aren't those worth $40 or so each? And if the tire is good on the spare front end, that whole set up (if straight) must be worth $50-$100, or I could put in on my 82 R for a skinner front tire. I'd like to have a second running 2 stroke to play with my atCR480.

May offer $150 or so. Is it worth that, or even the full $200?

Thanks

PS: I know it seems like there's a lot of these appraisal threads, but with all these extras, you can bet tons of stuff will be sold to members on here that need them

Looks like 83, or 84 If you ended up paying the full 200, not a bad deal,..lots of spare parts!

[Thorpe]

Worst case scenario... Part it and make money....

[puggerton03]

Wow, that thing got neglected. Thats alot of parts that come with it though. Id say its worth $200.

[TheRealFatShady]

That's what I thought. Chances are, I can get one running for a spare/loaner beater trike. I have a good bottom end and top end less a piston. Other than that, looks like there's spare wiring too, and everything. Maybe fork seals/some bearings need replaced, but it will be complete.

Not really a Honda guy...but I'd say she's worth saving....Now realize this could turn into a $3000 resto before you kick it over if you go for like NEW R. Could you buy a Liquid 86'R for 3g's?....you bet and unload it and go ride. Now remember built right that air-cooler could outrun a later model R in a drag race.

How? I am putting a CR480 in my other R. Just need a skinnier front tire/forks, and new plastics and the adapter kit to fit it in the frame.

[Tri-Z 250]

How?......not sure how to answer how? 480 in your other R...how am I to know that?:lol: Goodluck with your build can't wait for the ride report.

[TheRealFatShady]

Oh no, didn't mean to be insulting....new to ATC's and always see Liquid R's as the top dog and the air 'foolers' almost looked down upon as a mere 'stepping stone' to the liquid ones. I had an air cooled so I decided to put a 480 in it to beat a liquid R just haven't finished yet. But I didn't know a stock air cooled R could be made to beat a liquid. (That's what I meant by how)

Update - talked to the owner, motor doesn't turn over. Maybe something simple, but I have a good engine for it. Seems like he will take less, just wants it to go to someone who can use it.

[oldskool83]

buy mine, its ready to go for 1000

[cattle-dog]

you could build a rat trike if you have the parts for cheap, one to ride on the muddy trails and such. i only have 1000 into my mint powdercoated 250sx so it can be done if your not rushing to get it built i spent 6 months on the sx.

[jonathandexter]

Its worth $200. No problem now you just need to figure out what your going ot do with it. ; )

[southtexas250r]

looks like a cross of a 81 or 82 and 83 or 84 looks liek a 83 or 84 tilli see the rear swingarm.... idk could be wrong... just doesnt look to good... well i baught a 82 that runs great for 150 soo idk if you can get this one running for little of nothing then it should be worth around 200 especially if your gona keep and and not try to make money off of it

[QCR77]

this.^
the trike+parts > $200 , but what are you gonna do with it all?

[TheRealFatShady]

I will use the spare front end on my 82 (has fat tire on it now), put my good 82 bottom end into it unless that one is good, and get a piston kit for it. Then have a running one.

$150 sounds like a hell of a deal, even if it looks bad. I figure, I can get new Maier fenders for $300 or less front and rear, so I can always make it semi-presentable for under $1000 at a later date. But for a beater, $200 seems fine

Im 99.9% sure that is a 1984 honda atc 250R, judging by the linkage on the rear swingarm. It would be a great deal for $200! The 83-84 250R's have much better suspension than the 81-82R. You can ramp a 2nd gen fooler high, no problem! The other parts laying there look like they belong to an 84 as well. One thing I can tell just by looking at it, is that there is a good chance the swingarm bolt is siezed, and will be a real trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro to get out. Some patience, penetrating oil, heat, and a BIG sledge hammer and large punch bar outta do the trick. Pick them up! Always good to have extra parts when you are in a bind.
