Appreciation of 250s in the next 2 decades.

my dad got me my scorpio. he sed it goes like the 350s of his day. but i have done a long way and it still hasnt broken down so i think he is wrong.

Seriously how expensive is it to re build a ns 250 r crankshaft do they use plain bearings or rollers

Are they replacment aftermarket parts still availble for these machines ?

They're not, and they're easy to get. Same with RGVs. SP TZR cranks are a little harder, but the right people can help you out. No idea about the KR1S though. Fucked if I care, I don't use a factory crank

Over the next couple of decades their will not be many left of either so I think it is a moot point, one mans meat is another mans poison.

From my perspective (lotto win required) a 250 smoker will still give me a woody (hopefully) & make me part with cash in decades to come. A 4t, er, no. Only because I grew up when the only bike worth having was an RD 350. 10 years later & I would have a different opinion.
Will all be in the eye of the beholder.

Classic Japanese is an oxymoron.

Not according to the prices paid for the best examples...

Classic Japanese is an oxymoron.

Only to the truly ignorant.

2/4 stroke 250/1000, it wont matter, what does is "the" bike ,eg hondas RC series, the RC30 is very sort after, and now the RC45, the RC51 not so sort after but the SP1 is getting there.The only 250 I can think of is another honda, that 6 cylinder job, the RC166
