Who's got the nicest 250R in the world...Ever!

[Wild250R]

Just the MOST antagonistic question, I believe, but one with it's place!!!! Everyone always thinks their baby is best, but the unbiased opinion is never seen! So, to the public domain we ride! Very simply put, I want to get evryone sharing their rides with each other. I believe they're like a peices of art, they need to be seen to be truly alive!! So, who's got the BEST! Various catagories I suppose,
-Fastest, -Prettiest, -Best original Bike(completely stock!!!), -Best Custom Beast.
I am most interested in seeing the best original stock bike with not a damned thing changed! Could be an interesting thread, just thought I'd roll the dice any see what happens, take it easy, it's just for fun!! :)

[petesatc]

hi wild250r
here are some of my bikes, they are all stock and mint, i'm not sure about the nicest in the world but they must be some of the nicest in the UK.....
thanks
pete :beer

[petesatc]

hi jason
nice R
it's about time you brought that down for a race!!!!

[Jason T]

Sorry pete, can't go getting it dirty, the old man will have a heart attack!!!!!! :eek: :eek: , besides the sx is coming on nicely, should be a good challenger for your 86' 200x :p

http://3wheelerworld.com/remotepictures/KearneyYamaha249.jpg thats got to be one of the most original and untouched.

[ATC crazy]

I dont know whose these are...but I vote these for Best Custom. One is a Banshee that has been converted and the other is self explanatory :D

[vartiak15]

ive got some pics but for some reason the manage attachments button wont work for me :mad:

[hadar]

Wow, (Just ******* My jeans) Those R's are clean!!!!!!!!! :D

[86250RZ]

Nowhere near the nicest in the world but still very clean trikes. The black (85) was a full restore, the Red one (86) is original, I have changed just a few parts out in favor of some billet parts but still have every original part for it stored.

[bigredhead]

I don't get the deal with having such a nice machine and NOT RIDING IT !1

why the hell would you buy and own such a beautiful and fun machine and not use it for what it's intended ! that's just wrong !

[86250RZ]

What are you talking about? I ride mine all the time but I also go over them with a fine tooth comb after getting them dirty. The Red R has been covered in so much mud that you couldnt even tell what kind of trike it was but that will never happen again, I almost cried when i saw what I had done to her the next morning.

[bigredhead]

that's my point exactly. !

they're meant to have fun.. i get you had alot of fun getting her full of mud !

and cleaning them is fun too !

it just twists me to see garage beauties spend their lives picking up dust.

[Billy Golightly]

I think Mike Ft. Laud has a very nice clean 250r. I dunno about the nicest in the world, but its very nice.

[Lots_Of_Nothing]

my vote for fastest and best styling is ChrisD's R's, his ice racer is mean, i'll look around and see if i cant find a couple pics of it, and also he posted vid's before from a site he made, i'll see if i can find too (anyone who knows it feel free to post it)

[Jason T]

Big red head i think your referring to me when you say these bikes should be ridden, as I know petesatc takes his out in the mud.
I totally agree with you, and me and my dad said we would never own anything that isn't ridden regularly and properly.
But we had to drive to germany (1100 miles!!) to get it because they are so rare over here. The guy before us had owned it for nearly 20 years and not got it muddy, so it seems a shame for us to !!!!! :eek:
It does get ridden as much as we can, but i am afraid only in the dry :D :D
Besides we have plenty of other trikes to get nice and muddy :TrikesOwn

Jason T :)

[petesatc]

hey Jason
i thought i'd post the photo of your dirty 82' R and my dirty 85' R
how long before the sx is finished mate?

[86250RZ]

Thats a good pic to show the massive jump in technology that Honda made with the 250R in just 3 or 4 short years, man that just drives me crazy thinking about the jump that could of been made on a 4th generation R. By the way nice R's.

[threewheelin-feelin]

hey Jason
i thought i'd post the photo of your dirty 82' R and my dirty 85' R
how long before the sx is finished mate?
they dont look that bad. its nice havin a first generation R and a last generation R

[Bryan Raffa]

Bump 2 years later..
Im gonna say chris D's R is one of the best lookin R's I have ever seen! If i had one I would want it to look like that!!!!!!

(-Fastest, -Prettiest, -Best original Bike(completely stock!!!), -Best Custom Beast.)

Im gonna say he's got a little of everything!:drool:

[3leggeddog]

i'll toot my own horn here.not the nicest,but i sure like looking at the pics after the first build,she was pretty!,lol

[Orangecnty250r]

Heres all my generation 250r 's..... All have a few things/details to be done....The NOS 81 R will possibly be the nicest in the world...I have found the rest of the NOS to complete it...just have to find the time. All this work on the tigers I have been neglecting the Hondas

[ATC-Eric]

I love Chris D's

Threelegged, yours freaken rocks! I like the second picture the best.


Good god Orangeny, that 81 is awesome!!! Get that thing done!

[the great gazoo]

That blue frame on 3legged's R, it's so....gawd, so beautiful! I love seeing pics of it!
How's about that '87, or was it an '88 (very secret, & probably the only one ever produced) factory racer R in Japan someone posted a pic of a while back, it looked to be inside a shop? It was all red, with inverts? THAT was pretty wild!

[Dammit!]

Not the nicest either but hey, it's my favorite because it's mine! :lol:

[350xBomb]

I dont know if its the light or the angle or what but this is one of Chris D's is the best picture of a 3 wheeler ever....ever. And these other two have kind of a, shall we say, mexican flavor to them but nice none the less. Havent seen them anywhere else or anything like em.

[ChrisD]

WOW! I'm glad to hear that I made the cut 2 years ago and today :lol:

There are a bunch of nice bikes on here.

OC will have to open the museum soon.
Onedeadpresident always shows up with nice "stockers"
Dammit's R is cool as hell :twisted:
Aussieduner's bike looks sweet in black with the short track kit.
just a few to note...I'm leaving for work now so I can't post all of them, but there are a lot of them here.

Thanks for all of your votes! I have a lot of time in that bike. I built it as if I were a Honda designer, building it as a track bike for 1988.

Cheers!!!

[Muddy200x]

Doug watch out mate that black cat is crossing your path !!!

LOL, Now thats funny!

You got a PUrRRrrRRdy trike there Doug. I really like the seat.

[Tri-ZNate]

Troll's AirFooler

[edog]

Nowhere near the nicest in the world but still very clean trikes. The black (85) was a full restore, the Red one (86) is original, I have changed just a few parts out in favor of some billet parts but still have every original part for it stored.

Are those radiator grills custom made?

[3leggeddog]

man i am loving this thread.there are so many beautiful 250r's out there.


oc has to have the finest collection ever!!dude you rock!

[350Xhilaration]

All super nice !!! :w00t:

I remember seeing Dunerash's R in post over at .org and was wow'd.
I've thought the same for Troll's fooler and ChrisD's R too.
Brandon the Black R will always be a favorite of many.
Too many sweet Rs to pick from. OC, DeadPres, and others have some pristine rides that are some of the best stockers in the world I'm sure.

Great topic. Thanks for bringing it back raffa.

[breastman569]

this is just to show that Doug's isn't a trailer queen he rides the piss out of it and if you were wondering about that banshee its my girlfriends dads on alcohol and we have yet to see anything beat it!

[oldsking86]

Heres one of mine, thought I'd see some remarks on her

Orangecounty, that is by far the BEST 81 R I have ever seen!! I dont remember them looking that nice on the showroom floor.... unbelievable! !!! do you actually get to ride any of those in the pics? or do you have a rider as well?

:beer
