nice 250r

BIGREDTIDE · March 21, 2007, 03:49:36 PM

That!!...is work well done!! Long live the ATC's!!

I took my '85 250ES Big Red up to Durhamtown, GA. to the 6 hour ATV Race a few weeks ago....came in 2nd place in the Iron Man Utility Class!!

Only 3 wheeler there....and all the Quad guys were really impressed with it. Oh yeah....it doesn't have front or rear brakes! Shhhhh!!

I'm hoping to acquire a 350X, or possibly a 250R.

Mr.Bones...was that a private sell, or from a dealer?

sykolincoln · March 21, 2007, 04:49:11 PM

thats freaken awesome!! bigredtide!!! you need to post some pics of that!!! glad that somebody else besides a few of us nutcases here still race these trikes!!! rock on man!!

BIGREDTIDE · March 22, 2007, 01:23:19 AM

Thanks!

I posted a new thread about the ATV Race w/pics....enjoy!!!

If I can get ahold of a 350X or a 250R....I'd be real competitive overall.

Private sale. I originally bought it from a guy in Ocala for $700.

Good going with the racing! You gotta be a good rider to ride these things fast.

HondaATC · March 22, 2007, 09:39:05 AM

You did a great job on restoring that R. Glad to see other people taking the time and money to fix them up again, they are definitely worth it. We're gonna be at Eastbay raceway not to far out of Tampa in April, would be cool to have another trike in the mix or to just put a face with the name.

ton_e_montana · March 26, 2007, 04:09:57 PM

Nice work bones....that thing is nice.

The search continues for mine

Bo322 · April 07, 2007, 01:56:37 AM

3 wheelers ROCK!!!!

Still have my 350X that I bought new in 85

Nope,,,,,,,, it's not for sale

AWESOME re-do Bones!

mrbones · November 15, 2007, 12:51:26 PM

Update:

I haven't ridden this beast in awhile so I'm thinking of selling it. I just have to clean off all the mud on it and install new fork seals, but other than that, it's good to go. There's 15 hours on the rebuilt engine, of which I replaced every bearing in the tranny and rebored the cylinder with a new piston. Reeds are new also. Also has all new plastics and OEM gas tank. I'll give a complete list of new parts, upgrades, etc. later. I just want to see if anyone is interested in buying it. But, I'm not going to give it away for dirt cheap either. I want to get at least $1800 out of it since that is what I got in it. I will sell to the highest offer. If not, I'll put it on ebay and get more. These things are very rare these days and we all know how fast they are, too.

Here's some current pics:

sykolincoln · November 15, 2007, 02:21:08 PM

man! I didnt know you had a short track tank on there! man! and black to! ive been wanting to trade my red short track for a black one, oh well,, looks good, 1800 sounds good for a 250R like that! if I didnt have 10million machines+1 I would try to get it!! good luck homie!

mrbones · November 15, 2007, 03:08:30 PM

It's actually not a short track tank, but an OEM replacement. It was the same size as the faded red one it replaced.

dlgorie@yahoo.com · November 15, 2007, 05:08:20 PM

i might be interested in it.... but maybe after holidays. where r u located

mrbones · November 15, 2007, 06:17:55 PM

Gone to ebay.

mrbones · December 11, 2007, 12:42:27 PM

Everybody's too cheap to pay for a real machine. I'm keeping it.

mrbones · December 11, 2007, 12:45:36 PM

I took it to Croom yesterday. It was awsome in that super thick sugar sand in the south pit area as Croom is extremely dry right now. The photo says it all as I take a break in the north parking area.

BIGREDTIDE · December 12, 2007, 10:56:35 AM

That is a sik pic!!

Like the caption on bottom right too!

Is that dual exhaust you have, or am I seeing things?

mrbones · December 12, 2007, 11:00:44 AM

Thanks.

No thats not dual exhaust. I bolted on a 400ex tool box on the left side to carry a wrench and spare spark plugs just in case I fowl one on the trails.

mrbones · December 13, 2007, 02:10:04 PM

Here's video of the beast about 8 months ago. Hope to get some more video, soon. Especially since I'm better at riding it than I was back then. Also got the engine jetting better, too.
