is this worth whats the sellers wants for it 84 250r

[hillbilly 200x]

hey guys i want to sell my 85 suzuki 250r and i can get about the same amount that the guy wants for his 84 250r. Is his bike worth $900. thanks Aaron http://belleville.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-ATVs-snowmobiles-ATVs-1984-atc-250r-W0QQAdIdZ256808175

[leviblue]

NOOOOoooooo

[k00leo]

Well, does it run? If it does not run, $900 seems high.

[hillbilly 200x]

ok thanks i can get $900 for my lt and it is beat to hell is there anything i should look at if i go for it? thanks Aaron

[3wheelrider]

Not great pics but obviously not the prettiest thing but... Then again,-probably not many 250Rs to choose from in canada -right?
Sure is dirty tho, gonna have to look carefully. Get on it & bounce it up & down and see how the suspension feels. Check the tank carefully inside/out. Missing the front fender- might have bent shocks up front. He says it runs awesome ,new tires tho & has spare parts? Tough to see the total condition from here.Think about it carefully & definately try & get it for less cuz it probably is a semi-project. You will be spending some cash on it to fix it up more than likely.

ive been watching that ad on kijiji for a while, hunk of crap, buut. All others that are somewhat mint are 2000+ here

[thestud25]

If your LT is beat and you can get $900 go for it. If the 250r is a runner, I would imagine in Canada that $900 is not too far off. I would show up with $900, offer $600 and go from there. Check the carrier bearings, brakes, frame for cracks, etc.

[Silverado]

There is another 250r up in the barrie area, check that one out too. I mean it might be worth $900 but they go for so much more I am guessing some5hing is pooched... Drive out there and check it out. bouch, look for smoke, turn over, check the wiggle, breaks, bends forks...ect

[hillbilly 200x]

thanks guy iam just wating for his eamil back, it is hard to find 250r up there for cheap. Most people want
$2000+for nicer looking bikes, i can see that the tank is dented in and the flares are gone off the tank aswell as for fenders they arnt to much money is the dg pipe any good? thanks Aaron

[hillbilly 200x]

this is my lt 250r http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-ATVs-snowmobiles-ATVs-trade-suzuki-lt-250r-for-honda-3wheeler-W0QQAdIdZ260874942 the honda is in about the same shape.

[AutoXer]

Just a my opinion .... you might want to put the plastic on it and get rid of the jack stands in your pic.... people are going to look at the add and think it dosen't come with any and skip to the next one

[hillbilly 200x]

thanks autoxer i just havnt had time to get it out of the shop lol i just had jaw surgary on friday so iam spot to say inside :( lol

[Silverado]

I agree, put on plastics, take new pictures, give it a REALLY good cleaning, make the tires look really black.

[hillbilly 200x]

hopefully i can next week iam bed bond for the rest of this week. i got an offer for $800 with ten mins

[Silverado]

I see they listened to your ad about "No Low Ballers"

[hillbilly 200x]

oh ya they never do lol

[k00leo]

That lt250r doesnt look nearly as bad as you said it does... or maybe i have seen some really messed up bikes. :wondering

[Xhumeka]

Here's another option - seller open to reasonable offers (ie I bet he'd take $1500 if you showed up with cash).

This guy has owned it since '87, and sounds like he's taken care of it:

i havnt taken any pics of the front end where the last owner broke the frame then welded it back up

[bcredneck]

i live in bc that trike is at least worth 1200 people have offered 2500 for my friends pos 83R and he said no
250rs are damb near imposible to find here the utility ones are even hard to buy no mater how crappy i looked for 5 years to find my first trike then i traded up

[JasonB]

that 250r is beat to hell. 900$ is a rip off. considering you can buy a new quad for like 4 times that. And no. I paid 600$ for me 84 in 10X better shape. Dont buy that for 900$!

Its canada bro, its expensive here

[hillbilly 200x]

$900 isnt that bad it just alittle dirty, i talked to the guy today and he say it runs he rebuild it 2years ago and still was 150psi compression best part is that it was an ownership in the owners name and it comes with a parts bike, that is only missing the gastank and ehaust. So for $900 to me its a good deal a few hours with a good cleaner and the presser washer and it will look good agen

[200XMichigan]

From what I have heard about 250R's in Canada I would be all over that. Sometimes there are a lot of people on here who will tell you, "That's too much, big pile of crap." because the found some screaming deal on some mint find. Even in up north Michigan a good running 250R would go for around the same price. If you go there and it runs good I would grab it. You can always make stuff look nice later.

[bcredneck]

you guys gota try and find any trike in canada the only way to get a deal is to trade a trike people here think if they dont make em any more there worth a fortion a guy in penticion b.c. wanted $1500 for a beat to hell 200m and he got it before i phoned to try and talk him down on the price but dirtbikes here are a dime a dozen ive had 8 free ones and you can get a desent running bike for less than $600 easy

[Silverado]

Send me a free one please

[Xhumeka]

You CAN find deals in Ontario, you just have to be a classified-sniper! i.e. act QUICK when a deal appears. Have cash ready, call the guy right away, and show up with the cash in hand ASAP.

Over the past 2 years, here are what I've picked up from the Ontario area and what I paid for each:

1983 200e (http://www.3wheelerworld.com/album.php?albumid=193&attachmentid=93195) - $450
1984 250R (http://www.3wheelerworld.com/album.php?albumid=193&attachmentid=91899) - $1050
1985 250SX (http://www.3wheelerworld.com/album.php?albumid=193&attachmentid=93194) - $600
1985 350X (http://www.3wheelerworld.com/album.php?albumid=193&attachmentid=93971) - $800
1986 250SX (http://www.3wheelerworld.com/album.php?albumid=193&attachmentid=92443) - $1000
1986 250R (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRPnnuBYvVw) - $900 (but this was bought from a buddy of mine as opposed to a random classified posting)

I have pictures of all these trikes in my photo gallery if you want to compare purchase price and condition of ATC - but bottom line is deals ARE here in Ontario/Canada - you just have to act fast!

[Silverado]

You speak the truth.


I was lucky when I sniped one of mine (250sx) for a little less than $900 and she was perfect original plastic and stickers with front and back rack, good tires, brakes, everything. The only thing I had to change was a rear bearing because it made the smallest of squeeks as well as some of the reflectors lol.

[hillbilly 200x]

it can be easy to find trikes ontario is i got my 83 200x for $700 and it wasnt in to bad of shape i picked up a 200m for $300 and all was wrong with it was the timing was out i see honda 200s all the time on kijiji for under $1000 i havn't seen tomany 350x latly. I sold the lt today for $1000 so iam hopefuly going to go look at that 250r on friday or sat. i hope it isnt a pice of crap
xhumeka do you still have any parts for these bikes

[Xhumeka]

xhumeka do you still have any parts for these bikes

I have a lot of parts for the '84 250R - practically enough parts to build another 2 trikes!

[hillbilly 200x]

alright the guy said that the bike iam looking at was a parts bike that is almost complete all it needs was a gastank and exhaust. do you have anything that will work. lol thanks Aaron

[Xhumeka]

Yeah, I have both - I was keeping them for spares but I might be willing to sell them to a fellow local triker if you really want them.

[hillbilly 200x]

alright i will keep it in mind that you have them. What do you want for a gas tank? I can see from the pic's on kijij that the tank on the bike is dented up bad so i better one may be in order.

[bcredneck]

i would try to fix the tank

If I were you I wouldn't be too concerned (at least not quite yet ;) about getting a pristine trike - especially if this will be a rider. Dents in the tank can be fixed (awesome job in the above post!!) and if you ask me, as long as it doesn't leak it's good enough! Wait till you get the trike before you start purchasing stuff - chances are you WILL be spending money on NEEDED work and it adds up fast.

Unless you luck out, you'll probably be looking at buying front and rear axle bearings as well as swinger (where it meets the frame) bearings - those add up fast. And you'll likely need new brake pads, sprocket and chain. Hopefully the air filter is in decent shape and can be used, otherwise a UNI filter as well.

That's just the minimum to get you running - and once you ARE running you'll likely find other things to fix. Long story short, if the tank holds fuel save your $$$ for other potential issues ;)

congratz on the sale of your quad and have fun buying your next 3 wheeled toy!!!

[hillbilly 200x]

nice job on the tank!! :) ya i found out how much money goes into just getting it trail ready with my 200x last season. I hope it goes well getting the trike and all, iam just wating for the email from the owner as to when I can come and look at it
