    Great bike - used to be my favorite.
    PRO: Clean, unmolested, plated, reliable as a watch, 280 makes big torque, priced right, cheap to operate.
    CON: Heavy, front end tends to push, you will finish second.

    I don't see a starter housing on that engine. Is it a kicker only? Make certain that's what you want. I have a kicker again and sorely miss the magic button.

    the only XR with a starter is the 650L

    the 250 and 400 are quite similar in a lot of ways (share plastics, etc)

    if I'd seen that in time I would have jumped on it, the 250R is about the only XR I haven't had yet :lol2

    I suspect he may be high. It's a nice bike and all, but similar rzs on ebay with literally a third the mileage sell for right around 60-50 percent of what he's asking. I think if you're in the six thousand by god dollar motorcycle prices, you might want to like, you know, roll it out from behind the shed.

    I have seen one of these, or maybe this one, for sale several times in the last couple of years. Maybe someone thinks it is a real cool bike until they ride it and scare themselves half to death. :lol3

    Yea I should probably hold out for a more mellow ride, like an RZ500 or something. :lol3

    You are right Ben, he is awfully proud of it.

    The least he could have done is put it on a milk crate stand, but I suppose the dirt yard and bare wheel in the background are worth something.

    :rofl

    Given that the photo was taken nearly 8.5 years ago I hope it still looks as good. I've always wanted one of these but I suspect that if I brought it home that the household management would have a fit.... One day.
