[team-red-rider]

[TECATEMATT]

no way dude that could be it haha! Where did the pics come from?

[team-red-rider]

i found them on google!

[TECATEMATT]

really i wonder if it really is a 87 250r

[team-red-rider]

it sures looks like it....i wonder tho....where could u get white oem style fenders back then?

[KASEY]

those are not stock shrouds so i doubt itis a 87,,,white plastic and a west coast swingarm,,,

[oldsking86]

Also the 87's had a white light shroud too

[team-red-rider]

DANG. so close.

Now that looks right, to bad it's a fake! lol

Im pretty sure that bike was owned by a member here on 3ww, im not sure who but i think hes from new york and is big into the ice racing, and from what i recall its an 86 and was purchased from a ex-racer. Maybe he will chime in.

[Psychotrike9]

ehh isint the "A" on the seat supppose to be a Triangle in a Triangle?

[jeffatc250r]

oh ya...didnt see that. Interesting to say the least. Does anyone know who im talking about? Im pretty sure he is from n.y and like i said he ice races. I think his current 250r has a yellow frame, flat track kit.

You're right.,,, that was a factory bike he snagged from some racer.. SO the story goes,..

[Aussieduner]

Its ChrisD a member here,that machine was an original HRC factory racer with white short track shrouds,its on his web site.

Geesh....he posts 7 times and calls me a liar, SO I must be wrong.......

Actually guys, it was my HRCR. It wan an 86 though, not an 87. I bought white fenders for it to be different. Honestly, at the time, I didn't even know about the 87R being white. I had a few sets of fenders for it, so you will see different renditions of the bike around in pictures.

I bought the bike from a guy that lived in Warwick NY. He raced all around the country. The bike was from Ayres Honda in Middletown. I think they closed up shop over 10 years ago, but at the time, it was great to see pictures of my bike on the walls of the shop with trophies next to them. That's how I got into ice racing. When I got the bike it came with 3 sets of tires, inlcuding a set of fully studded Cheng Shins. The bike came with BOXES of extra parts...tanks, motors, carbs, reeds, sprckets, gaskets, cables, etc, etc...It kept me and my friends running for years. I paid $1600 for it all.

I have a pic of it in a race somewhere...if I can find it, I will post it.

woah, not top jack the thread but i didnt know there was a member that lived that close to me, im over in wallkill, which is 30 min from middletown

I used to ride on the ripped up railroad tracks near 5 corners. We have also ridden behind Yellow Freight in Maybrook. Both of those places should not be too far from you. I haven't been there in a couple years, but had fun at both places.

My mother has a house in Bloomingburg so we get up there every so often. We recently went riding in Roscoe, about 1 1/2 hours west of Wallkill. That is a cool place to ride.

I believe that the 87 250R does exist....Ive been talking to a guy who used to be sponsored by Honda back when 3 wheelers were still being raced...he said that he ordered an 87 250R, but it got cancelled because it wasnt allowed across the Canadian border legally. That would tell me that the machine had to exist in order to get to the border, but thats anyones interpretation.

Used to be all for the myth but with everyone thats looking you would think the 87 R would have surfaced by now.

Maybe one day.

well guys time to call the mythbusters.


i believe there is a 87 somewhere. its probably in some old guys barn with piles of bird crap on it. i just dont think we have enough people looking. sure 3ww has allot of members but we dont have nearly enough to cover the world. it will take time but we will find one if it does exist. im saying it does we just need to find it.

I agree with you. remember the 88big red.They do exist. I am pretty sure that a couple of years ago there was not a bunch of people o 3ww that knew that they existed!!??:rolleyes:
Keep your eyes opens...

[team-red-rider]

GOOD POINT! we thought 1987 was the end of the line...but then to find an 88!! IMAGINE A 1988 ATC250 R!! :drooling: =]

[Teeksoffroad]

I knew 3ww couldn't go more than 6 months without bringing up the '87R. - Until next time folks.

[jeffatc250r]

Hey chrisd, whats up with the seat, did you ge t it like that or did you buy the seat?

[Orangecnty250r]

I miss Ayres Honda!!!!!

[ATC-Eric]

You know, cant we contact Honda and just ask them? Wouldnt they be able to tell us if any made it out of the factory??????

Maybe then we could finally put it to rest!

[team-red-rider]
