The Banshees will never handle like the 250R does but you would have to spend a chunk of change to get the R to run like a healthy stock motor banshee with just a good set of pipes and carbs. I’ve got a banshee and it’s a nice bike with a lot of bolt on performance parts but if I found the right 250R I’d probably trade
Damnit Man I had this bad boy when it was brand new, for my first quad I'd bought myself way back in 1988! I absolutely loved that bike, everything about it worked, The last two years I had it was when TSL actually made Mini Swampers For the rear, and I had them on 10' wide aluminum wheels, with headlocks. Two inches rubber, flat across! Killed everything I hit, Ripped Hill's, Ripped Verts like they were nothing, all the traction you could ask, with speed of that two stroke, and the power band made it the most fun bike I've ever had. That thing is freaking mint! Chemical to the first day I had it Red plastic, Red frame, on aluminum Wheels Badass!
I have 88 original but my plastic isn't in that great shape like that one!! It's faded some but it was cleanest one I seen till I came across this video. Super nice 250r...thanks for sharing
I sold my 89 when I was a yung man and to this day regret it. When I sold it their was a bidding war and I sold it more then what I payed for it. I fou d out later Honda was going to discontinue it. I guess the 2 bidders new that. What an amazing machine!
My dad has one sitting in a barn that’s bone stock. Hasn’t seen daylight in 15-20 years. Going to sell it soon. How much is one like in the video worth?
I have a 88 r that's 90% original fenders included. It's nothing like this one though. This is beautiful. How much you get to restore a trx like this? I don't need it perfect because i will be riding it.
I'm gonna ride it. I really just need the engine rebuilt. It had a Wiesco crank when I got it and a piece of the crank peeled off and jammed up in the bottom of the piston.
How often do you come across completely grenades 250Rs? I was trying to find an 88 or 89 with a blown motor as long as the cases aren’t busted and the frame isn’t cracked. I’m trying to build one for XC racing
if i own a 88 250r like that i wouldn't drive it . maybe few times a month round my yard but that it . my cousin had a 1986 4trax 250r his dad buy it from him in 1986 brand new i think it cost little over $2000
@@darestorations oh that's not bad I'm just finishing up a full restoration on one of these & I have that much into it, I'd pay $15,000 for that one easy
A bike that nice would actually be a burden to own, you could never go out and truley enjoy it and ride it like you stole it, it's best to let the collectors and hoaders keep these bikes and look for an ok shape rider quality one to use. I would be too scared to scratch it up or even get it dirty, you would spend 10 times longer cleaning it and detailing it than you would riding it.
it's probably the ocd in me, but watching you drag your finger across that dusty plastic was cringey. taking the plastic off and on could have been done in a more careful fashion too. lol
I just bought the same exact wheeler. 88 250r, been sitting in a garage for 15+ years, it's all original and damn clean
Love to buy it from you if you're interested.
Man I miss my '88R. First new thing I bought with my first job.
Still got my 88 250r passed down from my dad, all original, completely mint. Ain't no one gettin' their hands on this beast 😈
Just a beautiful machine!!
Nice ride!!!!!!!
Forget the Banshees people, this is the true Holy grail of 4 wheelers.

Wow! That is one hell of a clean 250r!! Insanely clean!! Can only imagine how much that sold for! So many immaculate Honda’s in this video! ❤️🏁🤙
Thats got to be muesem quality. Never seen one this clean before.
Last time I saw one that clean was when I sat on a new one back in 1986 when i was 14 lol memories
Unicorn status 🤟🏻

I'm drooling at every bike..... wowser wow woowie....idk which I'd want most if I had to choose only 1.. 86 atc250r or 89 trx250r.....
I love my 88 trx250r... its a ripppah
Simply amazing. Thanks for sharing.
I wish Honda made these again!!
I will keep a eye out in Canada for a mint 88 honda 250R factory mint man hard find
That TRX is a beauty.
Favorite year of the 250R
Love all 4 them
Insane dude that’s a dream right there
My dream bike. Lol. Thing is stunning

Same here, my plastics are not polished like these either. 34 years on plastic is tough to keep lustrous:)
What a beauty
What a gem, dank
I bought a new 1985 Honda atc 250r and miss it bad.
That's frickin epic! But oof.. that factory exhaust was absolutely terrible.
Beautiful brother
Those are real nice bike 🤠👌🏻

I would love to have you do my 1985 TRI Z
Nice :) I have 1984 85 86 250r atc and 1986 87 and 88 trx but mine aren't as nice but 8 out of 10
I. Use. To. The. 1989. And. I would love to have. One. Again. I. Love the. One. You have
I have a 89 250r but nothing is original that 88 is awesome
🤤🤤🤤 gorgeous trikes
My dad has one sitting in a barn that’s bone stock. Hasn’t seen daylight in 15-20 years. Going to sell it soon. How much is one like in the video worth?
shoot, also I broke my ball joints boots, actual joints are in good shape. Any rubber boots you recommend that fit a 250r upper ball joint?
I would never ride that thing keep it in a damn museum

They never tell :) But to be honest do you want to look at it all day or go ride? I ride my 88' and its mostly original, just look at my videos.
I'm gonna ride it. I really just need the engine rebuilt. It had a Wiesco crank when I got it and a piece of the crank peeled off and jammed up in the bottom of the piston.
Bad ass nice 👍
How much
Omg my first quad! What a thing of beauty, why did I sell it smh 🤦♂️
Trx250r
Wild, beauties
I would give up the left one for those.ive had the 85 And the 88.Didnt appreciate them then as I do now.

Not too often
@@darestorations yeah, they are hard to find. I should have never gotten rid of the one I had
Does anyone know where I can find this front grab bar?
No. Sure don’t
You didn't need it too bad or you would have just bought that one 😂😂
I. Will. Buy one. I. Use. To have a. 1989 Tex 250R
This one is for sale. $15k
@@darestorations what's for sale? The 250r in this video?

Thats awesome. I haven't seen one of those since the late 80's. I'd love to have it.
The tail light is not the correct one!! Beautiful trx
Sorry. I believe you are incorrect

Wow is correct bro that’s the holy grail for sure screw a used car that will go down in value every yr..,this will go up every yr
Is that Jasons old bike?
Ardoin. Yes
Honda really , really screwed uo bad when the stopped making that 4 wheeler.
WHY DID YOU NOT BUY THAT BEAUTIFUL 1988❓
I have two of these, would you be interested in restoring them? Please reply back and hopefully we can work something out. Thanks
Sure. However my wait list is near 2 years.
@@darestorations I apologize, I'm just now seeing this reply. Could you give me your email? Thank you
What was the selling price?
13
its worth it
@@darestorations oh that's not bad I'm just finishing up a full restoration on one of these & I have that much into it, I'd pay $15,000 for that one easy
Mines cleaner!
Why can’t they look like that anymore?

My gosh
i waqnna this so bad
Who would sell that machine?? No way in hell I'm selling that
I just picked up a pretty complete original 88 Trx 250r. Reply with your email and I’ll send you some pictures to see if you’re interested.
Daniel do you still have if and if so what you want for it?
I have an all original 1988 myself. I am considering selling lmk.
Send details and pics. Www.da-restorations.com

What was the Kawasaki ?
Has these ever been ridden lmao
Awesome! Subscribe!
Yes that trx is too clean to restore unnecessary
it's probably the ocd in me, but watching you drag your finger across that dusty plastic was cringey. taking the plastic off and on could have been done in a more careful fashion too. lol
Well I’m fully capable of buffing a finger mark out and it’s pretty tough removing them with a camera in one hand.
im in the market for this caliber machine if anyone is selling
Ain't no sense to collect these. You don't use it what's the point. Just to say u have a clean never rode 4wheeler. Never had fun on it..lol
Beautiful
