possible 83 250r puchase.... good deal or not?

[fast94tracer]

well i found a 1983 250r for 1000 and i talked him down to 850 is this a good buy or no?

the bike has a new top end and brand new plastics that have never been riden on also has new tires


should i go get it now or wait for a better deal?!?!?!?!:Bounce

[T3 LOPES]

Seems like a good deal . Shocks, bearings, brakes all tight. Even if not it seems like a pretty good deal . Lets see some pics.

[3Wheelers4Life]

sounds like a good deal, is anything wrong or broken with it? :pics: :pics: :pics:

[fast94tracer]

nothing is wrong im going to see it now and if everything seems good i will bring it home

just wanted to ake sure i wasnt overpaying

[Yamada]

do the count
new tires + new + plastic + new top end= 350-500$ may be
so i would say that a great deal.
In my area, they are asking 1900$ for a bike like this

[SYKO]

I say good deal cant beat a fresh top end and new plastics!

[GoodKarma]

If it doesn't have a bad shift fork, and the tranny works good, then you can't go wrong.

[fast94tracer]

well i went and got it i love it

1. shocks are good
2. plastics are new
3. starts on first soft kick
4. seat is good
5. tranny is good shifts smooth and quick
6. price tag on bike says 1200 lol he could have easly got it
7. looked in gas tank and can only see one very small spot of rust
8. he had pink slip and current registration green sticker for it
the bad

1. front master cylinder is locked up
2. hard to roll i think the rear brake is slightly applied hope its not the rear bearings
3. one head light is broken but still works


this guy also had a yamaha 225 trike for sale also for 600 he said he would take 500 if someone paid cash
he also had several motocross bikes that werent for sale can i say this "he was rich" lol hell he even had jet skis and bmw race cars lol
he owns his own geman car repair shop

Very good man, sounds like a good deal. Does it make any noise when you roll it? Like a high pitched squeek?

[ATC-Eric]

Good for you, thats still not a bad deal considering the broken stuff.

One of the headlights is broken? Do you mean high/low, or theres actually two lights in this sucker?


Lets see some pics!!!!!!!!!!

[fast94tracer]

well heres a pic i went for a ride and it was the brake and it freed up but i found another problem the float in the carb is stuck so if i dont turn the fuel on and off it will flood and die and continue to over flow

[SYKO]

looks cool, kinda like the white frame, is it missing the tank scoops? so how do you like it?

[3Wheelers4Life]

looks good from the picture.

[fast94tracer]

yes i love it and yes its missing its scoops

got a chance to ride it hard today and it runs and shifts great once warmed up

the funny thing is that i feel more in control of this bike than my friends built 200x
