I have an 89 250r, once I get a new carb for it, it should be perfect. Won't matter though, I'm # 3 on the list at my dealership, and when it comes in, I'll have 2 r's two play with. I think I will have a hard time choosing which one to ride when I'm able to ride. I'm giving up my cbr to get it so I hope it is worth it. The best part is, I will have the last 250r in production, and the first 450r. The way I have the 250r set up, I should be able to ride it sparingly and have it as my little piece of history in my garage. Not a bad dilema to have.
