1985 honda big red 250es ATC 3 Wheeler

Description

1985 honda big red 250es.  I bought this Big Red from an estate sale in January 2021.  It was bought new in 1985 buy a gentleman who planned to ride it back and forth to town from his farm. He got it legal, (it still has the inspection sticker on it from 1985), but his wife said he didn't like it on gravel road because it made him eat too much dust. To prove how little use the bike has had the seat is all original and in perfect condition, and the tool kit has never been out. It sat in his garage for over 30 years unused.  The tank was rusted out so I never tried to use it and immediately replaced the tank and fuel line. I did not try to start it for fear of rust on the cylinder walls so I took it to the local Honda shop where they went through the motor and replaced the Carburetor and coil and spark plug and checked the valve adjustment.  They said the motor had very little use, and confirmed what the man's widow told me when I bought it. It now starts, runs and rides like brand new. I rode it probably 20 miles total making sure it was good to go. This is what I have done to it in the last 3 months:
Took off all the racks and had them professionally sandblasted and powder coated
Took off all 3 wheels and had them professionally sandblasted and powder coated
Brand new tires (still have tits on them)
Brand new Carburetor
Brand new Gel Battery
Brand new handlebars
Had thumb throttle housing sandblasted and powder coated
Brand new levers
Brand new Grips
Refinished all bar clamps
Brand new Coil, coil wire, and spark plug
Brand new tank
Brand new Clarke Petcock
Brand new Fuel line and filter
Brand new Wheel bearings front and rear
Brand new Fenders
Brand new Throttle cable (it worked fine but had rust on the ends)
Brand new Honda Air filter
Brand new Front fork seals and oil
Changed Shaft oil with Honda OEM shaft oil (the original looked brand new)
The exhaust has been sanded down and coated with VHT Cerami-Coat Header paint
The side covers have been painted with Cerami-Coat primer and engine enamel
This bike is not perfect, the engine side covers look OK, but to be perfect they would have to be removed which I was unwilling to do to a motor that was like new inside.  Included is a brand new COMPLETE gasket set, every gasket on the bike, which I bought before Honda said there was no reason to tear into the engine, and I wasn't going to do it just for cosmetic purposes. Honda took the head off, fine honed the cylinder to remove light surface rust, and checked the valves which did not need adjustment. I bought new tank decals, but they bubbled and frankly I like the naked look anyway.  The side cover and rear emblems are in great shape, the front one was faded, included is a brand new front "Big Red" Decal I just purchased.
This Big Red starts, runs, and rides like new and looks excellent especially for its age. The starting bid is less than what I have in it not including tons of labor. Feel free to contact me through Ebay with any questions. Thanks for looking !

I noticed some overspray on the frame from coating the engine in the pics, it has been fixed with factory frame paint. Also, the original Carburetor, choke cable, and throttle cable in great condition are included.  Also, a brand new sealed Shindy carb rebuild kit and brand new carb float are included.  I was going to rebuild the carb, but have never done it so I bought a new one, the original carb is in great shape and was just varnished from sitting so long.
