I think buying a project bike like that is the next thing I might do. Seems like a good price. You can save lots of money and get the satisfaction of building it yourself.

I have to disagree with the saving money part. Restoring a 250r properly takes some major time and money. There are plenty r's built for sale. Sorry to be doug downer but that's the way I see it.

I agree with you there, but I wouldn't be doing a restoration. I would just want a clean, good looking runner. If I got a full bike in pieces for cheap like that and it's already torn down I'd just spend some money to powder coat and clean up a lot of items. I'll see when the time comes, it was just a thought to get a bike cheap in pieces to save some money.

A, I can't stand the sellers attitude. He thinks he has gold,and he has junk.
B.Needs ALL plastic.
c. When I saw it,I thought,awesome, BKM can go grab it and have another project! But this guy sounds like a hopeless tool.

As far as building them Ghost ,you are right but can be wrong in a wicked hurry. He JUST rebuilt the engine. THEN tears it back down. There are other issues more than likely.

You got a good point there. You always have to be careful though. But props to you for picking out all these little details. Sounds like you've been around the block a few times. :p
