Honda 250R enduro junkyard find

[Acolytus]

While wondering around a North Carolina junkyard, I saw this beautiful Honda 250R enduro in the motorcycle section. It has no title and I believe it's being sold just for parts, but I'm sure buying it as a whole is possible. Does anyone know what year the bike is by any chance? Not sure how much these are worth, I might buy it and part it out, but I'm out of town so I'm going to have to ship it if I buy it. Let me know what you guys think of this lucky find!

on the steering neck there should be the VIN stamped in the neck along with sometimes the paper VIN that has the month/year. You may find paper work under the seat attached to the frame.

looks like an 1987

It's actually a Honda XL 250R so that means trail and road. Yes, 1987 seems about right.

I'll guess 1986. Best looking color scheme of the entire XL/XR series. I'll take one of each, please.

sadly that rough old girl isnt worth much. not worth shipping home anyway. where in NC are ya?

 

[Acolytus]

I'm visiting in Sanford, NC which is about 40 miles south west of Raleigh. Actually I have a buddy out here in Jacksonville, NC who is moving back to Chicago (where I live) in September and he's getting a big moving truck for his stuff, so it can fit the bike in there if I have it. If anything I can keep the bike's tires, gas tank, lights, etc for another Honda enduro if I come across it, instead of restoring it.

Those are a 1kish running ready to ride so unless it was free and shipping was like 50 bucks I dont see how it could worth it.
