87' 250R's...some hearsay evidence

[Darius1502]

The owner of a very popular website for 250R parts told me this moring that he has had about 5 people in the last 12 years call and ask him for the white plastics for an 87 250r.

He told me that he asked them what model year they had and they said, '1987'.

They people would say that thier bike came with white plastics and actually was an 87 model. He told me that most of them were callers from Minnesota and states close to the Canadian border.

He said that most of them were bought in Canada and brought to the states. He is very very knowledgable guy.

I did not name the site because I don't want a ton of people calling and bothering him..without buying something.

Just thought it was interesting.

I don't want everyone calling to bother him about this ok? If you call then buy something!!

Man can you even find an R of any year over there? ..
Here you can't damn guys I would be happy to find a 81-86 R let alone a 87 :eek:

Sounds like another guy that might be blowing smoke up your ass. Just a thought.

[OldSchoolin86]

You would think that 18 years later if there were any, they wouldn't be a secret.

Is that so? I find it hard to believe that you have that seat. :rolleyes:

[RCGUY]

Why is it that everyone thinks that there are 87 R's in canada . Around here there is only a handful of 85-86 R's that i know of and the only 87 trike that i found is a 200x and i have been to a lot of junk yards hell i even own a small junk yard and when anyone comes to buy parts i ask them and tell them to ask everyone the know and sofar nothing so if there is any around here they are just as hard to find here as in the usa

Are you sure about that? Because that seat was sold on ebay about a year ago.

[NICKG]

yea, he is sure...he bought it(x) i think what he means is that a freind sent him the picture...not the seat. X system bought it off ebay last year

[x.system]

Actually, I didn't buy it from ebay but I do have it in my possesion. Sorry Ric if you meant your buddy sent you a pic and not the seat. :beer

[BigGreenMachine]

Short4stuff I've found several high-po trikes around here lately. I have a bud with an 85 R, one guy selling two Tri-Z's for $400, another Z in the paper for $2000, an 81/82 250R and theres a 83/84 250R around my area in great condition.

Hey Jim
Didn't say I had the seat, just had a pic that my canadian mate sent me, Dont know what happened to that pic I posted, seemed to work OK last night when I put it there.
He said he bought it off ebay, dont know if you have his seat but it is my understanding that he has 3 OE New Honda seats, 85, 86, 87

[Dan Tenn]

I dont think anybody is arguing the fact that there are some 87R parts. I think there saying no whole, complete 87R's around.

[Darius1502]

Hey Dan,

Where is that 250R of yours? I would love to see some pics again!

[Dan Tenn]

If you were referring to "my" 86R, Ive never had one. Got one for sale? :)
