I got my first 250r:):):):):):). lol iam alittle happy about it. I picked it up yesterday from a guy down the street from me for $1000 he says he had it for, 4 years and parked it 3 years ago he got scared of it and parked it after riding it around his front lawn, and it was been seating in his shop ever since then. It was new back fenders a new plastic tank missing cap, back tires, a load of brake parts, and the engine was rebuild just befor he got it it was 180psi compression. The one thing I can't figger out is the pipe?? has anyone seen this pipe befor?? It isn't stoke and I couldnt find one on ebay or google. Can any one help me? and how do you think I did. Thanks Aaron

Yeah. You are missing some of your frame where the grab bar mounts up, what kinda handle bars are them ? ? ? Other than that it looks pretty good , I have a 84R.
GoodLuck with it.

Awesome deal. What's your plans? I know you just got it but it starts instantly with upgrade ideas. I think I would get a black front fender, get the tank done black, stick on 350x headlight, clean and change back tires to get me started. Lol
Good luck.

iam definitely going to be trying to get a black front fender and pop the dents out of the tank and get it black aswell. It alread has a pipe on it so iam ok there I have another stock head light but the 350x head light would look sick if I can get it in black. as for tires iam just going to run these one for now as they havnt been used or I have the bear claws on my 200x

Ganny usually opens around May 1st (weather depending) - you can bet there will be a ride as soon as it does :)

looks like good deal... keep an eye out for a new frame.you do need a new one. My buddy just got one with title off ebay for $35. and upgrade the forks with an 85-86 and that will be one bad machine.

I have looked into that befor for my X it would cost me and arm and a leg to get it into canada.


That looks like a DG pipe, btw could be but every dg I have seen was been stainless with an aluminum silencer

I've sent a few R frames up to NB, and theses were freebes, and the shipping was around $100 USD. It's worth an arm or a leg if it's only $150. I must be seeing more than you and it's not all the rear sub frame. I might even know where a 84 frame is that you can have, no title though.
