[cragster]

I can get a susposidly 1986 225dx (but they didnt make them in 86 now did they??....lol)

Shaft Drive
Engine starts first pull
Needs batery
fenders are faded/oxidized(florida will do that lol)
Seems to be in very good continion

SHOULD I?

[edog]

Is it Black?Or is it blue?
They did make the 1986 225 DRS 4 stoke.
Got any pics this machine?

[cragster]

well there is a black one for 200 dollars but this one is yellow.

[cragster]

i went to denniskirk and it wasnt even listed in 86 tho?!? and the one in 85 has no aftermarket fenders or anything

also i wouldnt mind having your skiy blue plastic...
i found the sky blue front fender of a 225dx for 30 shiped

[edog]

It has reverse rite?
If it is yellow then you do not have a 86.
Unless somebody changed all the plastic.

[cragster]

no reverse
its a dx i thot only dr's had reverse
and yeah its yellow

[cragster]

im going to buy some 2000 grit sandpaper and sand it then buff it out to make it look shiny if i get it becuz damn maier doesnt make plastic for it

[edog]

The r stands for reverse.

[cragster]

i know but its an x

[cragster]

hey how fast is this becuz i havnt drove it out yet

[Huffa]

450 is a very fair price if it's in decent shape. Check the forks though as lots of them have bent ones. Eye them up good.

[edog]

Some on this site would say slow.50 to 55 mph
I have had mine up to 60 maybe a little over.

[Derrick Adams]

Yeah, or pass the deal along to me. I'm only about 45 minutes from you!

[cragster]

[cragster]

[Huffa]

Here is a good example of one with bent forks. This one is pretty extreme though.

For $150 it must need a few things. Whats it need? On a 1-10 scale, what shape is it in? I may be interested. Your not coming out PA way any time soon are you or know some one that is that could transport it?

Some pic's would be great!

[cragster]
