Title: New to the 250R community
Post by: Jaredman33 on November 06, 2014, 02:12:08 PM: Hey guys, I recently started becoming interested in the 250R. Seems like a great quad and is one of the only affordable ones. Just wondering if $500 for an '88 is a good deal. Guy said it runs and starts up and I was just wondering if it's a reliable bike. Thanks!

Welcome!! Even if it doesn't run you got yourself an amazing deal (if it turns out to be the Honda trx250r). If you pass on it don't be shy in forwarding the info :) But I'd rather you get it and join the forum permanently!

Onto the mod bug.... $12k and counting here! It goes as far as your imagination and wallet will take you!

Post by: Jaredman33 on November 07, 2014, 07:23:38 AM: Wow, $12,000. That's insane. Is that from repairs or for pleasure? I have a moped and I've put easily over $1000 into it for pleasure but that's about the most I can do.

Post by: Pricecheck on November 11, 2014, 03:38:51 AM: Jared, I haven't counted my engine rebuilds. Just initial trade value I got it for and the small fortune of a build that I did. It all adds up and im still going. This is also not paying retail on a single thing.

Post by: Pricecheck on November 11, 2014, 03:42:27 AM: Hick, when I bought my parts I was on a $7500 budget so I had to keep track. I also listed everyone that I bought it from. I obviously blew that budget!

Now it is kind of mod as I go.

Jared, just take your time and do it right for the way you ride. There's lots of builds here with many different budgets. Plenty of great people with extensive knowledge on here to lend a hand.
