[racerMX]

there is never been a better bike than a 88 or 89 honda 250r

How right you are.

nothing wrong with 86 87 though

yep i agree 100% although my old 400 was second...what all mods do you got on yours?

[beerock]

oh yeeeeeeeeahhhh!!!!!!

ya gotta love it
anyone know if aftermarket frames lower the seat height ????

ive ridden 3 aftermarket frames,(laeger,jp outlaw/lonestar, arens)

2 of them felt like they had a lower seat height, the arens frame was stock height.
Anyone ever hear of that?

I believe the lower seat height is a PLUS .

the laeger and jp outlaw/lonestar frame had a lower feeling seat height.

But is this true? do they have lowered seat height?

Well, where I live there is a 250R cult starting......It started last year My friend had just got a blaster and I had my recon He decided that the blaster sucked and everyone knew the recon sucked so we said "If you get a 250R I'll get a 250R" So a month or two later my friend got himself an 86 250R. When I went riding with him he let me try his and, I nearly $h!t my pants going down a dirt road in the winter, the second I hit the throttle the backend was sliding around like mad !! I loved it I knew I needed one, I sold the recon this past summer and I couldn't find a good 250R for 2G so I found a mint condition 250X and bought that. It was great when I first got it I became a wheelie master and a was honing my jumping skills. After about 3 months I got bored with it and put up adds all over the place saying TRADE 250X for 250R !! To my surprise some people responded most of them were POS's then I got an E-mail from a guy in Jersey who said he was moving up my way and he was interested in a trade. after a month of talking to him online my parents thought it was a joke. They left one day the guy came up I liked the R he liked my X so we made a even trade. I was REALLY HAPPY! that day I let my friend with an 01' 300EX ride it and he decided to not sell his 300 to get a banshee but to get a 250R. He will be getting one this spring.

Sorry for such the long post nobody probably read it but I felt like typing
How did you guys get involved with R's?

i read your story and it is pretty interesting...
now her is mine... i rode/raced bikes for a few years and after moving up to 125 c and racing a few mot's and getting taken out ALOT! i decided it wasn't my bag...so i decided i'd give the sport i used to bash on ( quads ) a try ....so one might my mom and dad went shopping i got a call from their cell phone it was my dad all excited about some 4-wheelr that was all red and a 2 stroke...he wasn't sure what it was though and the shop was closed...so the next day we went to look at it turns out it was an 89' 250 with an lrd pipe and a few other mods welp i had it for 4or 5 months and burnt the cdi box out....and my pap just brought home a 93 riced out eclpise i dediced to sell the r and buy the car.... welp that winter i was soo bored and with much kkissing up and brown nosing i talked my mom and dad into co-sighning me a loan for a 2001 yeller 400ex.....that summer i ran a race and did pretty decent 5th outta 12 w out backj breaks and bald rear tires...well we started to figure that i need good susp and some mods to get me running up front and my neighbor had a x-country 426ex that had works susp and all kinds of other mods...so i sold my stocker and bought it ... my next race i blew it to pieces and had to have it completly rebuilt....well i got it back and won my next race .... about 2 months ago i started realizing what ll my 426ex was going to need to gte my competive next year (a-arms axel ...much more) and decided to sell it to get an r and it just happened thart night we went to my local shop and found a full race ready 250r for sale cheap enough to get.....well it is a long story bbut i ended up with that r and love it today was the 1st time i could actually ride it on a track...and i'm all cramped up and soar... but i love it..sorry so long

you've been through alot of quads !

hey,i got a 250r too

[beerock]

YO killer 250r you got a SICK deal!!!!

heres my story about my quad.....

I Saw this quad on ebay about 3 years ago, It looked ok, but the list of extras was great.I emailed the guy who owned it and told him I would try to come up with the money.But I never could($4500).
Well, 6 months later I had enough money to look for a 250r.I searched around and found one with a nice list of aftermarket parts. I went to ride the bike up in PA, I looked it over checked out all the things that needed to be checked, and rode it, It felt like a beast and had power all over. (this bike had everything listed in my sig except the long stem, 4gallon tank and +2+1 a-arms). That day I tested it I gave hiom 200 dollar deposit because he said someone was coming to look at it the next day, and I knew it would be sold, So i jumped on the chance. next week, I came back with the rest of the cash, I gave him $3800 for the quad, he was asking 4000 but the ball joints were worn out.

So as I gave him the cash he pulled out this print out of an ebay auction that he won 6months ago, it just happened to be the bike(which I emailed to tell him if he would wait) I wanted so bad 6 months ago!!!!!!!!!!

its kind of crazy that I got the same bike. it was like we were meant to be together

I love my b+b ported and polished more and more every day, the funny thing is no ones ever heard of him. My engine RIPS though!!!!
