nos honda cr250m alloy tanks with free shipping

[09.0]

Honda parts nearly always go for more than most. A local got his hands on a couple at least ten years ago and sold them for $2500 each. How many NOS tanks for a highly collectable 1974 model bike can there be in existence? There will be a couple of guys doing a nos bike that will pay through the nose for the correct part. A tank or a pipe will always command exorbitant prices. You guys hang on to your threepence for that bargain buy....

Brad it's not the price. It is most likely worth that. I would pay it if i could clearly see it . I just read deception all over it. When selling an item give the buyer a clear view of what he's getting, not a fu...kn passport photo of it. Not for that price anyway.

If you reckon it's a bargain why wouldn't you speculate and buy it yourself?

The seller is Joe Abbatte. He did the article in VMX mag recently on restoring alloy tanks. He is a true craftsman. I don't think he is shady but if you want one you pay. They don't make them new anymore.

Exactly! Joe is well known in the vintage scene with a good reputation, he didn't get that from being shonky..

I don't think it's a bargain. As I said it is exorbitant.I also didn't look at the photos that close as I'm not that interested in the tank to purchase. To be honest my post referred to comments like this

Thats just crazy prices, bullsh-t, rip off.

I love Hondas I love Elsinores............but that price is madness to the usual collector/restorer!

you are right when it comes to the show qty bikes it will sell i have seen them go for 2500.00 as well.someone will buy it. the nos builders in the usa are not that thin on the ground as they are here.show qty crs go for way more there than you would get for them here.like the india tanks you would buy on for a racer but not for a show bike.

I know the man selling this tank. It's is as he says and worth every penny he's asking IMHO...
