[trainingwheeler]

a buddie of mine has a pretty nice '84 250r it has farely new maier plastic brand new tires front & rear (even know the front is a narrow styker or like that dont ask me why he put that on ther ) he has rebuild kits for the front & rear calipers & new brake pads togo on the front light& gaurd were trashed in a rollover , has new chain togo on but he cant get the locknuts on the rear loose to be able to rotate the carrier & adjust the chain . other than that it is stock except for new boysen reeds he wants $ 900 what do ya think should i buy it ? it is pretty clean but hasnt been riden in almost 2 years but he has started it every now & again

[trainingwheeler]

he also has the original title for it he got from the guy he bought it off of

another friend has a 83-84 tecate basket case i can get off of him for like $50 but it needs a head possibly a bore & piston & a rear axle if i remember correctly

The air fooler dont sound like a bad deal I say go for it! :w00t:

[trainingwheeler]

[trainingwheeler]

what about the tecate? ?

[willcamach]

id go for it with the 250r i have an 83 that i got for 500 and it needed a rebuild so all in all im into mine for about $8-900 and i love that bike my 200x hasnt seen the light of day since i rebuilt my 250r... the tecate is also a good deal but the parts from what i understand are hard to find

[trainingwheeler]

yeah i have a line on another tecate basketcase maybe 2 will make a decent 1

Hey if the 250r frame is straight after the roll over... I'd say talk him down as much as possible.....BUT GET IT!!!!:TrikesOwn

i would wait and get an 85-86r.you can find one for 900 easily.i seen one for 600.00 that needs carb work and another for 750.00

[gotballs 250r 82]

Ya tell me i would jump on that. The 85 /86's around here in fla go for 1700 to 2000.:w00t: :w00t: :idea:

[brandosfiero]
