    wow great job! My step father just passed "RIP Tom" and he left me his 1983 250r atc (been asking for years if he wanted to get rid of it but never said yeah not until now) it is in good shape for sitting for years all original and ready to be brought back to life. I've rebuilt one (an 83 actually) many years ago I did the whole restore, powder coat, rebuild, new plastics and all the good stuff so I was getting ready to do it again but I am got blown away by the increase in parts cost. last one I rebuilt I paid $150 for front and rear plastics and now it's 450 for just the rear wow the cost is gonna bankrupt me lol not really but it is more expensive then the first time.
    oh BTW my rebuild was a great build but no where near as nice as yours you did a fantastic job it looks brand new my hats off to you my friend.

      @eagle nest i agree. Its no different thsn a firearm. If someone breaks the firearms saftey rules and shoots themselves or even does it intentionally the manufacturer can't be sued. They have a special exemption. I mean drain-o has a warning lable and its enough. Ford didn't stop making the f150 and I wiuld bet in any given year far mofe people were injured or killed than atv riders.
      This especially in the states, it a prime example of the legislation idiots being over reaching in the authority that has been given to them.
      You can purchased the ready to ride converted 450 dirt bikes that have been made into 3 wheelers. There is a company who is filling this part of the market and they are bad @ss.

    I remember in the 80’s when you got a bike it was bone stock and it stayed stock. I mean there was no internet to order parts and we did not have any money to modify it like you kids today. It was a feat to just get an ATC 250R. Parents did not lay the cash out like they do today for their kids. I will say if you needed parts you went to the junk yard or the dealer or you had to mail order from a company in back pages of dirt wheels magazine LOL. That was a royal pain in the arse. Like I said it was very rare to see bikes, quads and ATC’s worked out like you do today.

  • @miketee2444
    @miketee2444 Před 2 lety

    Aside from an 86 this is about the top of the totum pole for vintage bikes that deserve saving. Many were abused and neglected but Honda built um right and it shows. How sweet it would be if someone built an aluminum frame to resemble the dirt bike. Something about rolling into the throttle made it hard to stop. Before you know it you are going way faster than you should be. The factory oatsu tires were hard to beat also.

    Nice build that's freaking beautiful.
    My dad's 250R was stolen the week he paid it off back in 1989 . Someone stole it out of the carport road it to the hills about 5 miles away parked it in an abandoned farm shed ....in 2005ish he gets a call from the police saying they recoverd it. The thing sat rusting all those years in a shed he drove past almost daily. Sad thing is it was most likely a punk kid that my older sisters hung out with .
    I miss those days , dad always took us riding and we all had bikes. No matter how broke we were he made a way to go on holiday weekends.
