NOS 250r motors

[shortline10]

What’s the going rate for new old stock take out 85/86 250r motors right now ?

I have a lead on one locally for what think is a ok price .

[BarnBoy]

A LOT! I would have to guess if a good deal on a NOS 350X engine is 2K a 86 R takeout has got to be like 3-4k??? If the seller is gonna look at this thread I apologize...in that case I wouldn't pay more than $100 hahaha.

Better get it before the TRX guys snap it up.

The market is nuts, so the going rate would be hard to pin down. I'll bet you can find ppl paying $4K for one if they're paying that much for NOS plastic sets

$2K is a "fair" price in my opinion, but thats just what I would pay for one if I wanted it

[shortline10]

2k is what I offered him , he has it posted for a lot more !
Has the carburetor , kicker and shifter so all that is a plus I would think ?
Typical cut off stator wires and clutch cable .

That's a huge plus. 2k is a deal I think.

if you have a nice trike to put it in, don't end up missing out on it for a few dollars. If you miss out, in a couple years you'll be thinking that the selling price was cheap. jim

It is hard to put a value on something that never comes up for sale.
$2K would be a good deal if you can get it. Even $2500 wouldn't be out of line.
Above that price, and you start getting into the realm of complete running bike prices.

The carb attached is very intriguing. But is it an '85 or '86 carb. I would think the 86 would be much more valuable - it sure is a lot more functional.

I'll be interested to know if you got this for 2K. If you did, well done sir!!

Made the one hour drive north to pick up the motor .
Passed all the NOS inspections . Never run . Outer covers case paint isn’t great but hell it’s 36 years old !

He also had a front brake setup like new that I picked up .

[jasong_10]

I'd guess that is an 85 carb, as my 85 R actually has the 86 carb (verified by serial number), and that doesn't look like mine. The choke looks completely different.

Nice score! Glad you were able to get it.

[ironchop]

That's awesome

Great score

For now I’m just going to display it in my shop for customers to see .
Ordered a 16” lexan cube to keep the elements off of it .

Custom made, or is that something sold online? Interested in a couple.

[shortline10]

Amazon has them , if you can dream it Amazon most likely sells it lol .

^^^^ Came here to ask this. Now I have to go home and measure my 200S takeout motor.

[Aulbaugh]

Nice score! Post a picture once you get it in the display.

I’ll be going the same with a few bullets. Multiple engine display case thread pending....

[ATC King]

It's great y'all are still finding these engines.

From my perspective, I've never paid that much for a running car or pickup. :lol:

None of them are worth putting into a protective case though. :(

Wife walked in just as I was setting the cube over the motor (quote ) “you gotta be f***ing kidding me lol”
Women just don’t understand :lol:
I like it !!!!

[jasong_10]

Do you think you'll ever put it in a trike?

Same species that will take small pieces of metal and stone and put them in a fancy little velvet lined box in the bedroom when a Craftsman tool box would be much more practical.

[shortline10]

Probably not . The value in this motor is in its history as a NOS take out , running it would greatly lessen its value .
Now if the right customer comes in and just has to have it :naughty:

[ironchop]

Is that out out in the shop?!?!

Was your lIving room coffee table already full of other takeout ATC motors, so there was no room for this one?

I can see this same situation unfolding at my house! The display looks great!

That’s a great find! I love the glass cube display too. I just installed an 86 takeout engine in my 350X yesterday. It almost felt like I was sinning! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210222/06c632d65a9ca623d6f81c60e6737cbd.jpg

That engine really doesn't look NOS, but hopefully it's in good shape regardless.

[shortline10]

If you seen it in person you would change your opinion . It’s definitely a nos take out motor .

Here's what a 200S motor looks like in the 13x13x13 box from Amazon.

The valve cover just touched the top. I am going to build a frame around the bottom to get the very small amount of clearance I need.

[shortline10]

Yep that’s in the shop !
