This is the TRX that my buddy just picked up for $1800 yeah the handle bars are a little weird but he has a new set on the way along with some other stuff.

Yeah the guy wanted 2500 I guess but Quadzilla talked him down. The deal came with another set of tires/no rims. There should be a lot of things getting replaced on that machine soon. Needs 2 exhaust studs and a carb rebuild kit. Leaks gas like a bastard.

They sound like a good deal but beware. A freind of mine just bought a 250r because his other buddies R that i ported was walking his banshee. Anyway he sold the banshee for 5K and bought this R for 2K. After I got done with the ragged out motor and the other upgrades he did he now has over 5K in the honda and it still doesnt look too good.

Yeah his plans are to ride it. He is putting some money into Nerfs, handle bars, clutch lever, brake lever, and a couple other items. From what I understand the kid that sold it just rebuilt the motor and showed them his credit card statements for the charges. The motor kicks and has a ton of compression more than I think any 250 I have ever seen have. Motor is pretty stock just has a bolt on silencer. It almost looks like it has a Lonestar SwingArm on it but not sure need to look at it better. The buddy of mine that bought it is a rookie this is his first quad so I don't think he is going to dump $5k into it just yet.
