1983 Honda ATC250R

This thing is a blast. Bike starts first kick from the seated position. Idles high until the choke is eased off, then idles down smoothly. Clutch and shifter work fine, four forward gears found and tested. Pretty squirrelly on asphalt, but I can see how much fun this would be in sand or snow. Engine pulls hard in all gears. Aside from the throttle grip(the other side is OK, go figure), the only thing I would mention is that the carb drips if the petcock is left open. I ran this bike for 10-15 minutes, up to full operating temperature, checked brakes (both ends fine), then pulled it back into the shop and shut off the petcock. This isn't a leaker. I was also asked if I had any video of the bike in action, and I really wish I had - it sounds great, runs strong, starts easily, and gives you the kind of smile that comes along with gripping the throttle real hard...This ATC was listed and sold about two weeks ago, but the new owner was unaware of title and license restrictions in his home state, and withdrew honorably. Note that Colorado is a non-title state for ATVs and boats, and all I can offer is a signed notarized bill of sale. Should your state require more documentation, I would suggest an armed rebellion, as that might be faster than dealing with DMV. Frame number is JH3TB0605DC206078, Engine number is TB06E 2114806. This is a low hours, indoor stored ATC with no sign of abuse and several aftermarket performance parts. Any guidance you can offer as to what parts are non-original would be appreciated; The plastics (which are very nice) say Maier, the muffler says Answer, wheels and tires are ITP rear, Dunlop front, and I originally thought the Pro Link decal meant something aftermarket, but have been getting an education as I go along (Thanks Ebayers). I am also told that the diamond plate engine shields are not Honda parts. It's currently in a secure heated warehouse, and can remain for 30 days free if you're going to pick up. It loads and fits easily into a small truck. Otherwise, I could take the rear axle and forks off and ship it on a pallet - Below are some sample freight quotes and you should be able to get some other options by clicking the Shipping Tab..Thanks for Looking! Dan Larson Here is the freight information. If you would prefer to ship via freight carrier, I will take the axle and forks off and strap the bike to a standard 48 X 40 pallet 48 high, weighing 320 pounds, and ship from a commercial warehouse dock in central Denver. Like the 30 days storage, there is no charge for this service - you pay actual freight cost only. Following are estimates for rates to different cities so you can get a ballpark idea of costs - I ran the same info through to LA 90212 $245, Chicago 60702 $205, NYC 10012 $396, Albany NY 12207 $314, Miami 33129 $379, and Seattle 98144 $302. Note that these rates were second on the list from FreightCenter.com, meaning you may do better, but not worse. Also note that freight rates are for a business with receiving dock on your end too; residential lift gate delivery costs a lot more. Hope this helps, and Thanks Again! Dan
