I RECENTLY STUMBLED ON TO A 89 STOCK 250r , IT ONLY HAS 2 TANKS OF GAS RAN OUT OF IT LIFETIME. I JUST SOLD MY 400 EX THAT I LIKED ALOT , REASON I SOLD IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE NEW FX 400 COMING OUT SOON. I FIGURED MY EX WAS STILL A HOT ITEM SO I WILL STILL BE ABLE TO GET TOP $$$ FOR IT, YOU KNOW WHEN THESE NEW MODELS SUCH AS THE CANNONDALE AND YAMAHA'S NEW QUAD COMING OUT THE PRICES FOR THE EX ARE GONNA DROP OFF A BIT. NOW I AM IN A BIT OF A PREDICAMENT SHOULD I GO WITH 89R FOR 4000.00 OR WAIT FOR THE NEW THE NEW THUMPERS TO COME OUT. I DO REALIZE HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND A 250r IN THIS SHAPE, VERY RARE. HOW MUCH WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO PAY FOR AN 89 250R THAT IS IN ABSOLTLY SHOWROOM CONDITION?

 

Where's this R at, I might consider buying it if you don't. I wanted one real bad but I had to settle for my LT instead. I know how you feel about the 400ex, my cousin just got one and I really like it, but soon there's gonna be some new quads out there that should be way better performers. But I probably wouldn't pass up a mint condition 250R for $4000. They're tough to find and the FX400 will still be there down the road if you do decide you want to get one in the future.

 

LEAVE ME EXPLAIN HOW THIS EVEN CAME ABOUT, I KNEW THIS FELLOW HE USED TO RACE R'S WHEN HE WAS 25, HE HAD 3 OF THEM, I ASK HIM LAST WEEK IF HE KNEW ANYONE THAT HAD AN 88' OR 89' AND HE SAID HE DID, THE ONE I TOLD YOU ABOUT. SO THIS 89R WAS NEVER REALLY FOR SALE IN THE 1ST PLACE BUT WHEN I OFFERED HIM 4000 FOR IT RIGHT AWAY HE THOUGHT ABOUT MAYBE SELLING IT . YOU ASKED WHERE THIS R WAS IT IS IN MARYLAND RIGHT ON THE PA BORDER, I DON'T MEAN TO BE RUDE OR ANYTHING BUT IF HE IS GONNA SELL IT YOU PROBABLY WON'T HAVE A CHANCE AT IT. ARE YOU NEAR SPANGLER? HAVE YOU EVER WENT TO PLEASURE VALLEY? I WILL LET YOU KNOW TOMMORROW HOW I MADE OUT ON THE DEAL..........
