It's actually a 1986 and around here in Canada it's pretty rare to get one there was a guy who wanted to trade a car for this thing but he held it for me

Looks like a nice bike and with the crazy ridiculous prices you guys talk about around there it seems that you got a pretty good deal. And that is a great looking R also. You have a nice collection started there.

Solid old BR! You guys pay a premium up there for trikes... MN, that would be $1000-1100 machine, but farther North, you guys seem to always have to pay more...

Looks like a great 250es, still had the original front tire too.
Thats a good price for around here, i paid 1450 for mine, and it isn't as clean as yours.

i buy and sell trikes until i have enough money to get a nice one people out here will pay quite a bit of money for trikes i got $750 for a 1984 200s that i bought it cheap and i sold a 1984 200es for $1500 but got a good deal when i sold it and i work for my dad at his automotive shop so i know how to fix things up to look nice and i make money to help pay for these things
i had to save up a bit of money to get myself going but buying and selling works good for me never lost money on a trike

its more of a father son thing me and my dad find a trike and then we both split the cost of a bike and i work and i buy and sell trikes which brings up a majority of the money to buy these things but for the price we couldnt pass up the deal :)

Nice big red you got there, that i like, it looks nearly mint & you will love it on trails system, it's bulletproof machine and you can't kill it. I already got two 1986 ATC 250es big red, both are all original bikes, one is red and 2nd bike is all camo big red. they runs and drive like new, low hrs machines. that i will never sell. Have fun with your big red. nice bike kid.
