A little on the spendy side. Problem with these, like the odyssey's --no longer made and in the past few years nostalgia has been hitting the 40-somethings who grew up with these. The few good parts out there aside from engine stuff are starting to get unobtanium pricing.

That would be a fun toy for sure. I am guessing compression should be in the 140-150 range on the 250R. A while back I was considering finding a 250 Odyssey and using the whole rear portion on my daughters Yerf. I think it would be a simple mod, provide plenty of power and those old 250 Odys are nearly indestructible. I would bet you could find one for the same or less than the 3 wheeler.

No reverse- kick start only!!!! Everyone is correct about parts as I've looked at "many" of these as a possible power plant.

this is mid priced full susp. around here. buy yourself a new one and hand down the old is one way to go. I'd take it if i could, when it comes to mods, it's the consumables and futzy hardware that can add up quickly.
