Brianc definitely has the most beautiful Tecate 4 I've seen in years. In fact if he had waited another week to buy it he would have found it in my garage. I instead had to congratulate him on scoring a pristine, time-capsule preserved, tecate.

 

Why Thank You, Arizona650!
I do remember you were the other interested party in that quad. Sorry!

Although, I got an e-mail this weekend from another proud Tecate-4 owner, with pictures of his most recent aquisition. This thing (while it doesn't have any of the goodies mine has on it) looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Plastics are PERFECT(!) right down to the factory shine and original warning labels and whatnot. Claims he bought it from the original owner (was the wife's bike), and has been in storage for the last 8 years. That, to me, is almost like finding a Honus Wagner rookie card, or an emerald vein in your backyard! I wish MINE looked as good!

 

Ya, the one that I saw was more modern looking than the Tecate 4. Do you mean 250 R as in the suzuki Lt250R.

 

That would be the Honda TRX250R, it doesnt look any more modern though. The nose of the Tecate kinda looks like it was mushed inward and the 250R's doesnt, many thats the difference.
