I AM LISTING THIS FOR A FRIEND!!!! SO HERE IS HOW THE STORY GOES!! I AM AN ATC ENTHUSIAST AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL 250R ATCS... MY FRIEND WHO OWNS THIS PARTICULAR ATC SAYS HEY I FOUND THIS ATC ON CRAIGSLIST CAN YOU GO BUY IT FOR ME? (IT WAS 5 MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE BUT 1.5 HOURS FROM HIS) I TRIED TO LOOK UP THE ADD ON CRAIGSLIST BUT THERE WERE NO PHOTOS, I TOLD MYSELF OH ITS PROBABLY A PIECE OF CRAP BEAT UP 250R..... I CALLED THE RUSS THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO SEE IT AND PURCHASE IT IF THE ATC WAS IN GOOD CONDITION. THIS WAS IN 2014 BY THE WAY... I GET TO RUSS' HOUSE AND HE LIFTS THE COVER OFF THE MOST PERFECT SHOWROOM CONDITION ATC250R I HAVE EVER SEEN... WE GET TO TALKING AND HE TELLS ME HOW HE WAS A FAN OF DUMONT DUNES SINCE THE 70'S AND THAT IN OCTOBER OF 1984 HE PURCHASED THIS ATC AT HONDA IN BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA FOR 1470$ AND HE NEEDED SO THAT HE COULD BE ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE AT DUMONT WITH THE FIRST YEAR WATER COOLED MODEL HONDA 250R. WE CONTINUE TALKING AND I ASK WHY IS IT SO CLEAN? HE SAYS ITS ONLY BEEN RIDDEN 4 TIMES AT DUMONT SAND DUNES AND NOT ANYWHERE ELSE... I ASKED WHY HE STOPPED RIDING IT AND HE SAID IN 1986 HE BOUGHT HIS FIRST SANDRAIL AND SINCE THEN HE NEVER TOOK THE ATC OUT AGAIN...IT STAYED COVERED IN HIS GARAGE...TILL 2014 NEARLY 30 YEARS LATER.. NEEDLESS TO SAY I PURCHASED IT FOR MY FRIEND AND I CALLED HIM AND TOLD HIM THAT THIS IS THE NICEST 3 WHEELER I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE AND THAT I WOULDNT EVEN RIDE IT IF I WERE HIM. SINCE MY FRIEND PURCHASED IT IN 2014 HE HAS ONLY RIDDEN IT 4 MORE TIMES.. I BELIEVE 2 TIMES WERE SAND DUNES AND 2 TIMES WERE IN THE DESERT. There is a crack in the radiator shroud and a few minor nicks here and there. PLEASE LOOK AT THE ENGINE CASES AND FRAME AS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN REPAINTED THESE ARE ALL ORIGINAL..
