Anyone interested in a 95 cr250?

This bike actually a 95 not a 96 per Thr VIN. my mistake for posting wrong year! Not much difference between the 95 and 96

I know everyone wants everything for nothing, but I'm not selling it for 1200 lol. Rather just keep it.

More power to you if you get it, maybe your local market is better, but about ten a month cycle through the local craiglist here, and you're a grand higher than anything other than a full on restoration.

I didn't think 2500 was crazy high. Its easy to buy one at 1500 then sink a grand into it only have a tired bike with new parts on it. And its probably the best 250 Honda has made. Im not going to buy it though. So whats up? Doesn't your Old Man appreciate that you freshened up his 250? Id be happy to find my kid in the garage working on my bike

No my dad is real appreciative, he cried when I gave it to him. My dad can't afford to get hurt again. He's 55 now. Hadn't rode in 15 years and he wanted to ride my 450 one day.

So, I let him ride my 13 yz450 at battle for ohio. Went out for two practices and was goin pretty damn good. And then the 3rd practice he wadded up really bad and broke his leg. Was off work for 8 months. He doesn't want that happening again as my mom is pretty sick and hasn't been working for about a year and the dr's don't know what it is exactly.

Anyway, the day he broke his leg I felt so bad. When we were in the hospital I said....wow, dad you're probably not gonna ride anymore after this huh? He said, yea the only way i'll ever ride again is if I get my 96 cr250 back.

So from that minute I went on a mission to get my dad his 96 cr250......last time he had one was 1994 when he went to loretta's in 35+ and got 14th. Went in 95 on a 96 cr250 and got 14th again. So I found this bike and put quite a bit of money into it, I gave him his old ride, with some new 2015 flavor (the graphics) but I kept the same number.



Pretty much sums up the motocross sometimes is "not worth it"

Im in the exact situation as your father. I had 2 long term recoveries. Im an idiot for starting up again . It would be cool if he could keep it just to go play riding with you once in a while or even once a year.the best times of my life were riding with my father.. Once you have no bikes its hard to get one again. But life goes on outside of riding so we do what we have to do. It just sucks that riding is the thing we love the most and life we should make the most of gets in the way. You are a good guy. Hold out for your price. Maybe do the ebay thing.

I am with MaxP on this. Keep it.

Do not get distracted by your wedding costs, need a few bucks to buy some shit etc.

Your Pops may again want to do some casual rides with you in the future. That's special.

And, if he doesn't, what better way to remember all the good times you had travelling to races, the highs and lows that come with that, than keeping around something you built from love of your Dad and for him wether he swings a leg over it or just likes to look at it.

From experience, shit get's real as you ascend the age ladder.

The bucks you will get from this sale, will in the long term possibly be insignificant when you realize you sold something you put your heart into and saw your Dad's appreciation of it. Can't replace those days/times,....ever. Just Say'in

I would have paid 2500 all day long, nice bike with nice mods. I looked in my area for almost a year to find a decent 96, no luck, bought a clapped out 96 with some nice period mods, but wanted a closest to stock i could find, like Pete24"s. I have wayyyy over 2500.00 into mine! parts for these restores add up quickly! as for Pete24 getting 4500.00 for that bike, he did very well, but if the buyer got what he wanted, and it is as clean inside as it looks on the outside, the buyer did good too, becuase he got what he wanted!

Considering I had to deal with Georgie txting me 100 times about bikes for sale when he was looking for one, I say you better keep the damn thing! (or sell it to me for $1000).
