i had a old husky cr 250. 86 i think. and i got rid of it because i couldnt find a single part for it. it was a ok bike. really wasnt as fast as the other bikes of the same year. lots og bottom though. but i couldnt find anything for it. this was before ebay and such but still i wouldnt buy the bike for that reason. buy a japanese bike. i have a 88 honda and other than seat covers and graphics and have had absolutely 0 trouble finding any part i have need so far. no matter how big or small.

rode a mates last year an 06 model it was a 430 or somthing like that,and mabey the kick starter was on the left hand side,i personly didnt like it,and i think kbaird has your answer right there  
######################RIDE IT LIKE YA STOLE IT###YOU MUST BE FAST cause you were HAULIN ASS when i passed you*********

i could probably get that 87cr250 for 600.00, but i want to be sure it is going to be easy to get parts. the bike is sharp it was in storage for 5 years and you can tell never ridden hard. i appreciate your help  

i was looking on ebay and found there are some parts for these huskys, just am kinda unsure if i should commit to this machine.  

in the end its up to you. just letting you know its nice to have confidence that you can find that part when you need it. not have your bike sitting broken all summer waiting for it to show up on ebay IMO.

hey kirk i think your right,i just got rid of a cr125 honda a 1984. i got it needing a top end rebuild, got all the stuff i needed and did it myself. ran great even when i got rid of it , only cost me about 150.00. looking for a 250 though cause im a bigger guy, need a little more umpphh.  

I'm pretty sure the 87 CR250 Husky was a one-year model with the power-valve. A first for Husky. Plus that was right when Cagiva bought Husky. If you really plan on riding the bike, I steer away from that one.  

The Husqvarna would be good for a collection or just to have, but go with something more common for your primary bike. I found a bunch of late 1980's and early 1990's Honda CR250's last night on craigslist, most of them were under $1000. I would look for one of those, they have much more power than the 125 and they are much easier to find parts for than the Husky.
