If it's super clean you/he could probably get $1500-$2000 for it. Depending on how much he knows about the value of them you can kind of base your offer on that.

i put higher detailed pic links, he is looking to sell it to me, i have a honda 265r right now an 89 and im thinking about buying this because he is the original owner and the thing looks like he took care of it

offer 1500. itd be worth it i think!!

Posted by: macd7919

I would say $1500 would be a good bargain. I am in the middle of restoring my 86 to that condition and it is going to cost me nearly that just in parts doing my own labor/welding/powder coating so I don't think you could go wrong at $1500.

how much is it worth though, like...if i were to resell what value could i easily get for it

im keeping it lol just trying to see if im buying at like a huge bargain or normal value average or overpaying

It looks good but its 24yrs old and i think if you were to buy it to sell it to make money .You wont make much if any IMO if it was a Trx250R there resale is alot higher then the ltr250 IMO i wouldnt give more then 1200 for it

ya im not looking to, i edited my post, i have a honda 250r well 265r and love it, this is stock and more trail friendly so i thought id be worth it, it looks prestine IMO

85-86 is not a real desirable year, no powervalve in the cylinder and only a 5 speed plus it has the weak swingarm but it is definitely cherry. Way less performance parts made for them also.

You should talk to the guy from Flotek about the 85-86 motors. A simple porting job really wakes them up, even he says the 85-86 motors aren't to be slept on.

As far as parts they aren't as readily available but you can get pretty much everything for an 85-86 as you can for a 87+, you just need to know where to look.

can you give me a reference to him, where i can contact him, thats all this one would need, cosmetically its perfect, engine only needs porting

in CT that bike will defenitly sell for 1500-2000 based on the condition some people like them alot but some dont thats why an opinion is an opinion I personally like 87-92 more but in that shape and some nice motor work that bike will be sweet

that looks like a Q pipe to me, I could be wrong though

Posted by: jerkin

Definitely not a Q-pipe, all of Q's pipes bend left out of the cylinder.

Posted by: BuDDy L

its a fmf pipe, didnt i say that?

Posted by: 800screws

fmf pipes for the 85-86 are what Q recommends....just like any engine, some porting, reeds, and perhaps a carb (not sure for the 85-86's) would definately make it rip...

search on the qracer hq forum...some guy is making a drag bike out of an early lt250r...so power is possible out of them...

contact eric gorr of forward motion...he's on dirtrider.net as an advisor and writes performance books....alot of info on him on thumpertalk also....

he does awesome porting and head mods for a real, i mean real, good price..he did my first lt250r for me...and it kicked *****....
