would 1985 HONDA 250R, ESR 330cc kit, ESR pipe, +8 swingarm, Marvin show shock, , new plastics/seat, powder coating be decent on a trail nothing to hard just some light trails? and is 2500 to much for it?

 

probably ported for drag with a swing arm that long on it. should be a screamer at the hill but i doubt trails. 2500 is about right if everything is in good shape, its a GOOD deal.

 

I have never looked at the 250R as a good trail trike because of the power band (4 stokes are optimum) But that thing should Haul butt. For all the work in the trike; in my opinion that price is not out of range.

 

i know it is not a good trail bike bouy on some easy trails how crappy will it be with the swing arm? i wil be going to the dunes but i dont go alll the time i live right next to were i can ride some trails

 

Heck it's still a ATV, so I would go for it.......8" is a long way......handling may be a little funny but I don't see how you are goint to kill it (or you) on a few trails. But when it comes to those dunes your are going to Thrash it up!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] and may not want to bother with them trails[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] And I just ment I never felt 250R's in general(even stock) are very good trail trikes.

 

Aren't 2 strokes good for dirt track racing, and 4 strokes good for long trail riding?

 

the type of engine doesnt generally determine that so much.


with an 8 over swing arm, you wont be duning too great either. only thing that bike will do well, is drag racing and hill shooting.
