She is gorgeous! I just purchased a 1988 XR250r today for 360 dollars. I cannot wait to build it and get it back on to ripping the trails with my 94 XR200r. Great bike and video
fuck mate shes in rough shape for the price u got it for i just picked up a 99 model in excellent condition for 1800 with a roady .im really hoping the resto goes well mate
Hey yea just like Zach I just picked up a 1986 Honda XR 250r today for $200 . It needs a lot of work and have all the parts too , so Im pretty stoked on my new project . I also have a 1991 Suzuki dr 350s I brought back to life 3 months ago and its been fun riding that around in the desert and woods . well I will follow your progress and see how your are doing and pick up some tips along the way ....thanks for the video cheers !
I had a '91 250 L model that had been well used. It had similar wear to yours on the frame. The L was street legal w\ a steel tank and lights. But the harness had been all hacked up by prior owners taking lights and other things off. Interesting that your R model has lights. i don't think the R models here in the US were wired for lights. Those tubes of yours took a beating.. Solid machine. Congrats on having a nice spacious shop to work in. I'm a year late seeing your project get going hope you didn't find too much unexpected. I'll watch the rest to see how it goes.. best, Marc
I just bought an XR250 1991. It's in a quite a bit better condition then yours but still has lots of issues ie stuck front caliper, a noise in the engine when in low revs, wheels don't look that good etc. But very little rust and corrosion overall because it was stored in a garage. And have you finished your bike?

How can you tell the difference? I just got a 93 xr250 but dont know if its L or R my first dirt bike
Good stuff. I'm about 50% complete on my 1990. I've converted to USD forks from a CRF 250 as well. That was a bit of a trick.
Nice . I have an xr 250 1990 model too
