1987 250es Big Red Value?

[Higdonaw]

First Post! First of all I want to say thank you to this entire forum, I have learned so much on here. From the time I purchased this bike til now I have been on here so many times researching what not. I finally am close to finishing my 87' big red. Most everything is OEM parts, except for the seat cover. The engine purrs like a cat and everything seems really good and tight. I am not interested in selling it but I would like to know what she is worth, and I thought who better to ask than you all? Thanks for you time! -Higdonaw

Looks nice! Hard saying these days, it just depends on who wants it as to how much they will pay. Thinking $1500-2000 if it's mint. However, I just sold 2 as a pair and one ran, the other had spark and fuel but didn't light off. I took $650 for the both of them.

I gave mine away for 1300 $. was not as nice as yours tho..just depends on where you live .

As dustrunner says it depends on where you live. Trikes seem to sell for more up north than they do down south. There seem to be more of them down here, I live in Texas, than up north. I think the salt gets to them up there and being run in the snow seemed to play a factor in that. I have seen guys asking as much as $3000 for a trike in your condition. Down here I can get one like that for probably half that, maybe less.

Welcome. Nice BR. What part of Western Ky are you from?

[ironchop]

Here in Bowling Green area that's DEFINITELY $2500 MINIMUM after haggle....I would price it at $3000 and not a dime less as nice as it is

I`ve been looking for one locally to trade for my 200X but probably be better off to sell the X and buy a BR with the cash. Problem is there are no less than 5 or 6 X`s on CL in my area at any given time so the market is diluted for that model.....Though my X is real nice, I still can`t get what a BR like that is worth.

where you at in KY?......and Welcome to 3WW.

Thanks, I am in the Owensboro area. These BR's are hot items around here. People want an arm and a leg for junk. I am in my mid 30's and it sure brings back memories of my old BR.

$2500-$3K all day long here. Nice 87.

Trike looks great. I purshased an 86BR very good shape, few hours. paid 1850 I think it was worth it they don't make like these anymore.
