i found a 86 250r with a blown motor forsale about 66 miles away from me.
my question is he wants 1000.00 or best offer. it comes with some after market shocks in front and exhaust. i was thinking 800.00 is it worth that? how much would i be looking at for a motor?
thanks

 

it depends on how bad the motor is blown, do you think the crank, or crank bearing need replacing, what bore is it on, how bad did it tear up the cylinder, if it only needs a bore and a new piston, it could be a cheap as 200 to fix

 

If you can get it all for $800, by all means go for it.
How bad is the engine? Are the cases trashed? That's a place where the expense can come in.
If it's just "blown" and the cylinder isn't cracked, and the cases are all there, you can take it to a reputable shop and have them do a "split case" and check everything and do a basically "stock" rebuild for about $500 (depending on what they find in the transmission). That would put you at $1300 for a good running 250R which is really cheap!

 

let me know if you're gonna buy it, If not I might be interested in it

 

the add reads:
motor needs rebuild.race ready,LRD adjustable pipe, PPS rear shock,olan front shocks,cut and groove tires,alum rims.

well i gave it away if hes reading this or someone else im screwed hehehehe
