86 250r

Yeah, just purchased a 86 atc 250r off ebay.

All original. Got it for $1,325. Think it was a real good purchase. It is in my home town, so there is no travel at all to pick it up. Ill pry toss an extended swing arm on her. Other wise no big plans for mods. It has a new top end with an 1 hour on it.

I would recommend the newest one you can find, the different years aren't that much different. The '85-'86 motors have higher compression, especially the '85. In '87 they began using the long rod. Gearing changed a bit over the years also. All in all, the newer the motor the better as a newer motor will likely be in better condition and be easier to find parts for.
