ATTN Jride: 250F dirty for $800

[Kitt]

Needs a little work, but i think you could get it running and looking good for a couple hundred bucks... somebody snag this!

If the valves are that bad, you'll at least need new seats. I'd bet 3 years without an adjustment, that's not gonna look good on the head. Figure about 5-800 to get it minted out, still a good deal if the rest is in good shape. Jim Pijeon did a great job on mine, and ran me through everything that it needed, would need and what to keep an eye on.

Would be a pretty cool project if I had the time and money but I don't have either.

what a pile of shit!

That thing looks like a train wreck

[BMFR6]

HA! I'd tackle it if it was a 2 smoke.

piece of shit? the bike is $1000 under priced (due to the condition)... what did you expect for $800? haha

[seth399]

ya no offence meant, just no matter what the price it looks like its a hunk of shit...very well could become a good bike with 800 into it who knows.

I was thinking it would take less $ than that, but oh well... I have no room, and I have the same bike already with a new top end (and nowhere to ride it) yay.

definitely sucks having no where to ride without driving forever or paying to go to a practice track

where in MA do you live/ride?

I ripped through the trails behind my house a little with my cousin this weekend, He was on the TTR and I took out the 450 (figured one dirty ride couldn't hurt). Result: the trails were WAY too tight for a 450 haha... it's too hard to steer with the front wheel of the ground. I would have loved to hold out for FI, but I'm suprised at how much ballsier the 450 than my 426's were. The 250f is def all the bike I need for the dirt, thanks to some convincing from hessosmart. Is it bad if I take the ttr230 through the trails more than the 250f? the thing is like a lazyboy over the rough stuff!

I'm in waltham, MA just outside boston. I usually ride at crowhill or just races really. Only free places I ride are my friend brodys house and templeton trails/sandpits he has shown me...those are pretty fun too

You guys go down to Rocky Hill at all? I'm planning to head down there as soon as they re-open once the CT River goes down.
