Hey guys if everything works out im going tomorrow to pick up a mint condition 1987 250R. Old man my dad works with says he has had it in his heated barn for the past 15 years. There is not a ding or scratch on it and it only has about 10 hours on it. He bought it then realized a 2 stoke isnt much of a yard work machine so he parked it and bought a 4 wheeler. Anyways my dad told me about it i was shocked on the year he double checked and its an 87 and he even has a title. Kicker here is $750 and its mine! :-D Just thought id share my excitment.
thats the coolest thing ive ever heard!!!!!!! post pics asap!!!!!!!!!! you need to know that it is my dream to own a 87' 250 R. lucky!!!!!!!!!!!

We've heard this before... '87 TRX 250r's were very common.

Why would an old man even have a TRX250R? He doesn't havea 87 ATC250R.

I will believe it when I see it or pictures of it.
I am only 2-3 hrs away ( South ) and could drive up there to see it in person.

It'll probably end up being a left over new 1986 purchased in 1987. but who cares, for $750 you can't beat that! Congrats, whether 86 or 87 3 wheeler OR 4 wheeler it's a great find! :-D
HondaATC, didn't you get your 86 TRX'R from an some old man? ;)

For some reason I can't believe all the times you see ads for stuff that was "stored in a heated barn for xx years". I mean, I live in Halifax, and I've been in a few barns, and I've never been in a heated one. I do know there are a few, but not very common, at least around here.
Anyway great find!!!

lol lol lol lol lol lol
Why would you store a 3wheeler in a poll barn?
I have seen a heated barn though.
Some carpenter who lives nearby turned the hayloft in his barn into a woodworking shop and a game room. But you can hardly call that place a barn anymore.
I can remember pulling straw bales out of that barn and thinking "this guy has a lot of work ahead of him" but now it is done.

Alright everyone sorry no feed back in a while been busy. So anyways we went to see it oh by the way he called it a heated barn it was more like a huge garage that was big as a barn. But we pull up he comes out and says that he tried calling us but we had already left His Wife wont let him sell it cuz he will regret it i dunno some dumb reason im like ooo crap not in those words lol so just for fun i ask to see it he says sure. WOW it was the cleanest trike i have ever seen looked showroom aquick glance at the frame and it was an 86 he bought it in 87 so you guys were right. Long story short when he is finally gonna sell it he will call me first. So im disappointed but i guess ill keep lookin and wait for the day he sells his.
