For Sale 1989 CR250-price drop 5/30 $2950

Should have no problem selling that, you did a very nice job. ....hard to estimate what it will sell for. Kids won't spend that amount of money on a vintage bike that means nothing to them.... Serious racers only want newer bikes...... Your target audience, The guys who owned & raced them when new, dont seem to want to pay anything over 2500.00 imo.

Thanks sandman. That’s kind of what I figured. It’s a tough choice. We’ll be moving in 2 years for work and my daughter will be going to a new school and everything so I’m thinking either sell it now while it’s as mint as it will ever be, or ride it a bit and take a little hit on what it’s worth. I know I’ll probably never be able to find another in the condition that I found this one in all original with very few hours. I don’t have a crazy amount of $$ invested but enough, but if you add my labor cost in we’re getting up there haha.

Anyone have any interest in the bike? Looking like my wife’s job may change before we move again in two years. I’d really like to go to someone who will ride it but not plaster it in monster stickers and totally ruin it! I can provide more info, pictures and video of it running. Would be a good rewind bike!

If you were in the uk pirate it would sell easily
The above picture is of my 89 running 88 front end last weekend in the uk Evo series

Thanks billy, hopefully it sells and goes to someone who doesn’t ruin it after all the work that went into it

Nobody looking for a nice race bike? Unadilla is right around the corner haha

Nice '89 CR250 you got there Pirate! I had a nice '89 back when they were new. Bought it in early 1990 as a left over, got a great deal from the Honda dealership. It had the best all around engine I have ever ridden. Sold it for next to nothing and it was mint. Suspension was lacking, but that engine.....

Thanks hud, was a lot of work but a lot of fun. I have only had one person call on it in the last two weeks or so. Is the price in a reasonable range or just not a lot of interest for these bikes yet? Maybe it’s like a bitcoin and we’re waiting for the Evo rush to hit haha

You just need to find the right guy (or gal). The price is reasonable and I would be all over that bike if I didn't already have a few of them.

I love the 89's and like you said, you will never get back what you put into it. Just a labor of love, I personally would keep it if at all possible as you will be bummed a few years down the road after getting rid of her.

Hey Pirate421,
Agree with last poster.... your price is in the Ballpark. You have a Nice '89 CR250 there. It will sell to the right buyer. I wish I could buy it, but I have too many bikes (well according to the boss) now (5). Keep it if someone doesn't meet your price. Good luck!

Hey thanks guys, wish I could keep all my bikes but we will be moving again and hopefully buying a house so I really want to pay my truck off and some other stuff.

price drop $2950

$2950

Your bike, your time and money but don’t give it away! Someone will come through for you.

Thanks for the support! Definitely won’t give it away but I really would like it to go to a good home. I don’t ride it and could use the money so hopefully someone comes through soon. I think it is definitely more than fair price ready to race. Definitely was a lot more to build it!
