This has been posted on CL for a few weeks. I finally couldn't take it any longer and had to call about it. It is a one family owned bike purchased in 1987. The grandfather bought it and passed it to his grandson when he died. It is primarily stock, with the exception of new plastics, seat cover and a new top end. It has not been ridden much in the last three or four years. He has all of the paperwork for the bike. I am pretty excited to take this thing out. I was pretty surprised that this bike did not sell the first day it was posted. The PO said he is a fisherman and works 12 hours a day 7days a week. He never could find time to meet up with anyone! I guess I found the golden ticket!

It needs a little work. It was stored with gas in the tank and carb. He got it to start and idle but it dies when you open the throttle. Nothing a little cleaning won't fix!! I paid $800 for the bike. Not too bad of deal I'm thinking!

I dont know John, Jimmy White and Gary Denton were riding Suzuki and winning over Honda, I think its all down to who has the bigger coconuts on the track!

Rem28ga

What a great deal you got on that 250R. I had an '88 at it was an awesome quad. I'd probably have a heart
attack if I was able to get a deal like that.

So do you shoot a Remington 870 or 1100 in 28ga?
