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!

$500 seams too good. If you start hanging out with us you will get infected with the mod bug and end up spending thousands lol

Thanks for the welcomes guys. I'm gonna try to upload pics when I get them and I hope that the quad works, because I'd love to have it cheap.

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!

Welcome. Buy it. If it has a good bottom end, frame and okay plastics you're stealing it. Hell, $500 of be happy with a good frame and tires.

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

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.

I like my method of modifying. Just do it as funds permit. I don't keep track of how much I put into my toys. do not want it to take the enjoyment out of it.
