In need of something more than my 200x. I'm 6" talll and weigh 220lbs. Found this 84 250r on Craigslist. Guy said it runs great, good compression. Couple a pop rivets in the rear fenders. Headlight works, tail light does not. Has new rear tires with wheel spacers. Suspension rebounds nicely. $675 is his bottom dollar. From the pic looks like an aftermarket exhaust.
How would this bike perform trail riding ( 75 to 150 miles at a crack), I screw around at some moto cross tracks too, not scared of airing it up, and most importantly ice racing. I live on a lake, have about 25 more lakes within 25 miles of me. I'm hooked on ice racing. Sick of getting smoked by the bikes, my 200x just can't compete.

I really want a 350x or liquid 250r, but just cannot afford or find a decent one right now. So I'm considering this 84. It's a good 2 1/2 hour drive each way.
