Honda XR description

1979 Honda XR 250 Enduro. This bike is NOT a museum piece, but is complete and  does run, shifts through all gears properly, clutch works fine. Gas tank is fair to decent condition. Overall all I would rate its condition as 6.5-7. While it is complete there are some things that need attention. They are:

1) Needs a carb rebuild the needle and seat leaks  if gas is left on
2) will need front and rear brake shoes

3) the previous owner for some unknown reason invented his own silencer out of hardware store  stuff.... it works but is quite ugly. An OEM muffler IS included with the sale


The good stuff:

1) overall it looks pretty nice ( but NOT a museum piece )
2) has NEW chain and sprockets

3) has NEW Maxis Rear tire
4) Has excellent compression


With a small amount of minor rep[air you can hit the trails with confidence OR restore it to museum quality condition. With the few little things it needs
 fixed, I would not hesitate to ride it all day!!


Please Note: There is NO title. Sold with notarized bill of sale ONLY


It is located in Baldwinsville, NY 13027 and pick up is the SOLE responsibility of the buyer. I can deliver it for a FEE within 5 hours from Baldwinsville, NY however you must contact me BEFORE you buy it to make that arrangement. D O   N O T   spring it on me AFTER the sale!!!

You are welcome to come look at it in person. Most sellers will not tell you what the reserve price is. I will. The reserve is set at $1375.00

Top box trauma

Wed, 24 Nov 2010

I've struggled with my Honda hard luggage over the past few months, I have to admit. To much office hilarity (and piss taking) I managed to lose the top box just a few miles from the office. I thought the locating mechanism was fastened securely but the first rapid getaway from the first set of traffic lights on Upper Street proved me wrong.It was at least a mile before I noticed that my top box was absent.
