250r collection past and present

Marc - a couple of these look familiar, what were your usernames on the older forums (EXRiders/ATVRiders, ATVConnection, etc.), if you were on there?

Hello every one, I am new to the forum but old to 250r's. After a 10 year hiatus of owning any I just purchased 2 of them this fall to build. After being out of the game for a while I can not believe the prices people are asking for used parts, which inspired me to look back at all the R's i owned and what a gold mine I would be sitting on if I hung onto them

Brother, it seems like they have exploded in value just this past year. I have my 88 and I love it. But now I'm getting scared to ride it because of parts replacement costs.
Honest to God, some of the prices people are asking are downright scary. It bums me out.i mean there are a couple guys who just abuse us enthusiasts. There was a guy who wanted $7,000. For fenders last year. I'm now searching for an 05-07 400 ex to use as my daily rider. I got an offer for 9000 for my 250r. I didnt take it. I will NEVER sell it. I spent 26 years kicking myself for selling my 88 in 1992.
