The new toys----------

[ATC-Eric]

As some of you know, I picked up 2 new bikes a week or so back.

Ive had a couple questions, so I figure Ill post some info here.


The deal:

1986 250R I bought from Cory Sprock. In the deal, the 86 motor with matching numbers is to be completely rebuilt, seals, bearings, and all. Overall its in good shape. The rear fender has an exhuast burn, a bit of boot rub on the frame, the usual.

Then,,,,,,,,




The 1987 Tecate 3


The longer I own this, the more it has grown on me. Overall its in good shape as well. I bought both these bikes from Cory in one purchase. Part of the deal for this bike is a bigbore kit, with a complete bottom end rebuild.

(theres a little bit of dirt in the rims, their actually in superb shape)

The Tecate has mostly all the important parts, including keyswitch.

The issues:

-home fix on the shock resivoir (not a bad job)
-small ziptied spot on the headlight bracket
-frame will need repainting
-front shocks and boots
-chain sliders
-small tear in seat

other then those things, and some stickers, its in good condition. Im going to keep it the way it is for a while, it will get an ocasional ride. Down the road Im going to do a "refresh" -paint the frame, new plastics where needed, and just some small other numerous things including nuts and bolts.

Great set of bikes to get bro, you'll have a blast with em

that green machine is sick!!

[Kryten]

I can't wait to ride the Tecate some day. Glad I finally got to see it today. There can't be to many of those out there, especially an '87.

Does anyone know what kind of rack is on the rear of the R? I have one on one of my 200Xs and thought it would be cool to know what or who made it. Jim

[firefirefire90]

The rack is a PRM 6-pack rack

Thanks for the comments guys!


When it comes down to it, the T3 really is in great shape. Theres a lot to work with, it wont take much to make it a high roller :Bounce Im very happy with it. I plan to keep this sucker in my arsenal for the LONG run.



Sweet Pink Floyd shirt too!!



:cool:

Thats my buddy Adam, he had the pleasure of riding the R today at St. Joe. He's got the bug now, soon you'll see him around here!



And KEVIN, You'll get your chance! :beer

Nice new rides bro. Some TLC just like the Z and blamo you will have the elite 3 in nice minty shape!

[JohnBeton]

Very nice bikes !!! I especially like the tecate, very nice machine.

[ceaserthethird]

All right ... What did you pay ? ? ?

Awesome Set of Bikes ...

[ATC-Eric]

FINE!!!!


I paid $3000 for both the bikes with the work thats to be done.



I have my thoughts about this deal, tell me yours.

[DeePa]

id figure 1900 for the tecate and 1100 for the r...my initial guess was 3000. You did good in my opinion, especially for the tecate being an 87.

[ceaserthethird]

I think it's fair price to pay , Good Job !

More Like - $2,000 for the Honda ATC 250 R :naughty:

&

$1,000 for the Green thing - Does it even work ...:eek: Tell you what i'll take it off your hand's and save you all the trouble and give u $900 ;)

He shoots...

He scores...

Gooooooooaaaaaaaaaallllllllll


Dang nice rides there Eric. Okay I'm jealous, all I've bought since TF was a basket case Big Red that needs a major overhaul and a rust bucket 185s that I shoulda showed mercy own and just let it return to mother earth.

See ya, Chris

[wild200x]

very good score!

[BigGreenMachine]

Saved those to my hard drive.

That 87 is bloody sweet. You sir made an awsome score.

[ATC-Eric]

Thanks guys. I think I did good, its just always nice to hear others opinions.





- Does it even work ...:eek:

Its got a brand new stock topend on it now. The basegaskets bad, hopefully I can have that switched out with a ride report this weekend. And I wouldnt take any less then $1000 for it!!! ..................:lol:



My whole reasoning with this deal was to figure in my head how much the 250r is worth. With the fresh motor in its shape, and a little bit of amorall I think it would pull $1400. In my head that means the stock running 87 Tecate with all the crucial parts and keyswitch set me back a big fat $1600.

Hey Chris, thanks!

With the 185, you need any parts? I have a basket roller in my garage that I cant seem to GIVE away! (Frame, axle, wheels, motor, forks, plastic, brakes, ect.) Thing is nobody wants the whole thing, everybody just wants the motor. I can bring it to Oklahoma and let you pick at it if you want to.......

AND on another note, Ill probably be rollin the T3 as well when I come down. You were kind enough to put me on your KXT, I can return the favor :beer
