New 250R owner here (actually bought a pair), 2 mostly stock 86 R's. Looking forward to learning a lot more about these bikes!

Thanks,
Chad

Thanks for the great welcome! I'll post a couple of pics if I can figure out how! Reason for buying 2......never hurts to have a back up, LOL!  Short version of the story, rode one when I was 9yrs old with one of my dads friends and loved it. Always wanted one but never found the right opportunity at the right time to buy one. Raced motocross for awhile and always mostly rode dirt bikes when I got older. Quit racing and haven't ridden for quite awhile and some buddies decided to get quads and start playing around. Decided I'd start hunting one to go play around on and did a Craigslist search and stumbled into a mostly stock pair that (as the story goes) was originally purchased at the same time and have been sold together through a couple different owners and I was in a good position to purchase both if I could get what I thought to be a good deal and so.....I now have a pair of 86's!

Haven't had a chance to get some real good photos yet but here's a couple from when I met the seller and picked them up.

Welcome, and yes love the back ground on the two staying together. Any Plans for them? They both look to be in great shape and the one closest in the pics screams for full oem restoration show piece, while the other screams "Mod me"!

Thanks for the warm welcome from everyone. Couldn't be happier with them, both are in excellent shape. No set plans for them yet beobe99, I've thought about modding both or just one but I also really like the fact that they're stock and I'm a little spooked about hurting their reliability and durability with too many mods. Mostly tight woods riding in this area with some quick medium length straits in the mix. It's kind of funny that the family friend/mechanic that's helping me go through them and making sure everything is right and tight is the same guy(my dad's friend) who owned the original bike I rode when I was a 9 year old kid!

Getting 2 with full fenders is a dream come true in this day and age. We have been waiting for years for Full bore to make up some new plastics for us. Stock fenders are hard to come by and get a small fortune. Welcome to our site. Many members here with lots of experience willing to help any time.
