That's so hard to say with out seeing the thing.

What's the rest of it look like?

I think any trike is worth saving. Especially an R. it's hard to say how much without some pics.

Do you know what year it is. I thought 250r's had plastic tanks which I think would be hard to dent.

81-84 had metal tanks... unless it's like mine and has an aftermarket desert tank.

I never heard a bike quite described like that before. :D

Need tires, chain, sprockets, brakes, seat, cables, bearings, levers, bars,plastic, trans shift, wheels ?

Rescue it. Every trike, no matter how busted up it is, is worth saving. Remember, they don't make 'em no more!

Some trikes are better as doners to make other ones better.
