anyone looking for a cheap 250?

BobTheBiker · 09-17-2008, 09:22 PM

I'm trying to help my friend sell his first bike. its an 87 Kawi EX250 of the very first body style, not the one you're accustomed to seeing.

the good:
clean title, presently registered and running
everything works
daily rider(though it shouldnt be until properly fixed up

the bad:
needs new chain and sprockets,
front forks are 03 and the caliper isnt lined up properly, so you need to either get the newer wheel and rotor, or the 35mm forks and caliper to make it safe to ride daily
triple is misaligned, half ass kid worked on it.
tank needs cleaning and coating plus petcock rebuild,

its only $800 OBO located in New Port Richey FL. you would have to transport it, as neither he nor I have a truck/trailer to move it, unless you want to pay for fuel each way plus a rental truck.

I'm sorry to say but at that price, it ain't that cheap. I can get a newer beater with everything working for $1000.

Were it mine, I'd be parting the thing out, but he insists on 700 as his bottom line, frankly, I dont think its worth more than $500.

Yep. I wouldn't buy it for over $500.
